  Check the Selection Period: Ensure that the selection period you are using for the payroll run or report includes the delimitation date of the basic pay. Adjust the selection period if necessary.
  Review Employee Master Data: Go to the employee's master data (transaction code PA20 or PA30) and check the basic pay records. Verify the delimitation date and ensure it is set correctly.
  Adjust Delimitation Date: If the delimitation date is incorrect, you may need to adjust it to fall within the selection period. This can be done through the appropriate infotype (e.g., IT0008 for Basic Pay).
  Consult with HR/Payroll Team: If you are unsure about making changes, consult with your HR or payroll team to ensure that any adjustments are compliant with company policies and regulations.
  Run Consistency Checks: Use transaction codes like PE03 or PE04 to run consistency checks on payroll data to identify any discrepancies.
