HIEPRD077 - Details

• The SAP error message HIEPRD077 indicates that the End of Year (EOY) processing for an employee (EE) has already been completed, and therefore, the system is preventing any further processing for that employee for the same EOY period. This error typically arises in the context of payroll processing, particularly when dealing with year-end activities such as tax reporting, year-end adjustments, or generating year-end forms (like W-2s in the U.S.).
  
  Cause:
  
  
  Duplicate Processing: The most common cause of this error is an attempt to reprocess the EOY for an employee who has already been processed. This can happen if:
  
  The payroll administrator mistakenly tries to run the EOY process again.
  There are multiple payroll runs or corrections that are being attempted after the EOY has already been finalized.
  
  
  
  Incorrect Status: The employee's status may indicate that they have already been processed for the EOY, which can happen if the employee was included in a previous EOY
