  The SAP error message HCNUSAC_MSG_NEW201 typically indicates that there is an issue with a formula that is expected to exist in the system but cannot be found. This error is often encountered in the context of SAP HCM (Human Capital Management) or payroll processing, particularly when dealing with wage types, calculations, or custom formulas.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Formula: The formula referenced in the error message does not exist in the system. This could be due to a configuration issue or a missing transport.
  Incorrect Configuration: The formula might have been deleted or not properly configured in the system.
  Transport Issues: If the formula was recently transported from another system, it may not have been included in the transport request.
