This error indicates that the system cannot find a defined proposal run for the payroll accounting period you are trying to process. Here’s a breakdown of the cause, potential solutions, and related information:

  Missing Proposal Run: The most common cause is that no proposal run has been created for the specified payroll period. A proposal run is necessary to generate payroll results before executing the actual payroll run.
  Incorrect Configuration: There may be configuration issues in the payroll settings that prevent the proposal run from being recognized.

  Create a Proposal Run:
  
  Navigate to the payroll processing transaction (e.g., PC00_MXX_CALC) and ensure that a proposal run is created for the relevant payroll period.
