• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message HRIE_GEN013 - Error; T539S wage type missing between &1 - &2 (Keys &3) ?

  The SAP error message HRIE_GEN013 indicates that there is a missing wage type in the specified range for a particular employee or payroll processing scenario. This error typically arises in the context of payroll processing in the Human Resources (HR) module, particularly when dealing with wage types that are expected to be present in the payroll results.
  Cause:
  The error message HRIE_GEN013 is triggered when the system expects a wage type to be present between two specified keys (e.g., employee number, period, etc.), but it cannot find it. This can happen due to several reasons:
  
  
  Configuration Issues: The wage type may not be configured correctly in the system. This could be due to missing entries in the relevant tables (e.g., T539S) that define wage types for specific payroll areas or employee groups.
  
  
  Data Entry Errors: There may be errors in the employee master data or payroll results that lead to the absence of the expected wage type.
  
  
  Payroll Processing Errors: If the payroll run was not executed correctly or if there were issues during the payroll processing, certain wage types may not have been generated.
  
  
  Changes in Wage Type Configuration: If there have been recent changes to wage type configurations (e.g., adding or removing wage types), it may lead to inconsistencies in the payroll results.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the HRIE_GEN013 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Configuration:
  
  Verify the configuration of wage types in the T539S table. Ensure that the wage types expected between the specified keys are correctly defined.

  Review Employee Master Data:
  
  Check the employee master data for the affected employees. Ensure that all necessary wage types are correctly assigned and that there are no missing entries.
  
  
  
  Run Payroll Simulation:

  Check Payroll Results:
