• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message HR001PL126 - XML tag & has negative value & ?

  The SAP error message HR001PL126 typically indicates that there is an issue with the XML data being processed, specifically that a certain XML tag has a negative value when it is expected to be non-negative. This error is often encountered in the context of payroll processing or data transfer in SAP HR (Human Resources) modules.
  Cause:
  
  Negative Value in XML: The error suggests that a specific field in the XML data is receiving a negative value, which is not acceptable for that field. This could be due to incorrect data entry, misconfiguration, or issues in the payroll calculation logic.
  Data Mapping Issues: If the XML data is being generated from another system or module, there may be a mapping issue where a value that should be positive is being incorrectly set to negative.
  Incorrect Configuration: Configuration settings in the payroll or HR module may not align with the expected data formats or value ranges.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check XML Data: Review the XML file being processed to identify the specific tag that is causing the issue. Look for any negative values and determine why they are present.
  Correct Data Entry: If the negative value is due to incorrect data entry, correct the data in the relevant SAP HR infotypes or master data records.
  Review Payroll Calculations: If the negative value is a result of payroll calculations, review the payroll schema and rules to ensure that they are set up correctly and that no unintended deductions or calculations are resulting in negative values.
  Adjust Configuration: If the issue is related to configuration, consult with your SAP HR functional consultant to review and adjust the relevant settings.
  Testing: After making corrections, reprocess the payroll or data transfer to ensure that the error does not reoccur.
