• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message HRFPM220 - Incorrect run due to duplicate run numbers; restart run ?

  The SAP error message HRFPM220 indicates that there is a problem with duplicate run numbers in the context of a payroll or time management process. This typically occurs when a payroll run is attempted with a run number that has already been used, leading to conflicts in the system.
  Cause:
  
  
  Duplicate Run Numbers: The most common cause of this error is that the payroll run number you are trying to use has already been assigned to a previous payroll run. This can happen if:
  
  A payroll run was not completed successfully and is being retried.
  There was a manual entry or configuration error that led to the same run number being reused.
  The system settings for generating run numbers are not configured correctly.
  
  
  
  System Configuration Issues: If the configuration for payroll runs is not set up to generate unique run numbers, it can lead to this error.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Existing Payroll Runs: 
  
  Go to the relevant transaction (e.g., PC00_MXX_CALC) and check the list of existing payroll runs to see if the run number you are trying to use is already in use.
  If it is, you may need to select a different run number or resolve the issue with the existing run.
  
  
  
  Restart the Payroll Run:
  
  If the previous run was incomplete or failed, you may need to restart it. Ensure that you are using a new run number that has not been used before.
  
  
  
  Adjust Configuration:
  
  Review the configuration settings for payroll run number generation. Ensure that the system is set to automatically generate unique run numbers for each payroll run.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation: 
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or your organization's SAP support team for specific instructions on handling payroll runs and resolving duplicate run number issues.
  
  
  
  Use Transaction Codes:
  
  Use transaction codes like PC00_MXX_CALC (where XX is the country code) to access payroll processing and check for any inconsistencies.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to payroll processing and run number management.
  User Roles and Authorizations: Ensure that the user executing the payroll run has the necessary authorizations to perform the action.
  Testing in Development: If you are making changes to configuration or processes, consider testing in a development or quality assurance environment before applying changes in production.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to reach out to your SAP support team or consult with an SAP expert for further assistance.
