  The SAP error message HRECM00ADMVIEWS038 typically occurs in the context of the SAP Human Capital Management (HCM) module, particularly when dealing with infotypes related to employee remuneration or compensation. This error indicates that there is a validation rule in place that prevents the frequency field from being filled if no corresponding amount field is populated.
  Cause:
  The error arises when:
  
  You are trying to enter a value in the frequency field (e.g., monthly, weekly, etc.) without providing a corresponding amount in the relevant amount field (e.g., salary, bonus, etc.).
  The system is designed to ensure that if a frequency is specified, there must be a corresponding monetary value to justify that frequency.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you should:
  
  Check the Amount Field: Ensure that you have filled in the relevant amount field before entering a value in the frequency field. For example, if you are entering a salary frequency, make sure the salary amount is also entered.
  Review the Data Entry: Go through the data entry screen to confirm that all required fields are filled out correctly. If the amount field is optional, you may need to adjust your data entry logic to comply with the system's validation rules.
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about which fields are mandatory, refer to the SAP documentation or the specific infotype documentation for guidance on required fields.
  System Configuration: If you believe that the validation rule is too strict or not applicable to your business process, you may need to consult with your SAP administrator or a functional consultant to review the configuration settings related to the infotype in question.
