  The SAP error message HRIESP067 indicates that a non-payroll relevant payroll area is being selected in a context where it is not allowed. This typically occurs in the Human Resources (HR) module, particularly when dealing with employee data or payroll processing.
  Cause:
  The error is triggered when:
  
  An attempt is made to process payroll for an employee who is assigned to a payroll area that is not configured for payroll processing.
  The payroll area is set up in such a way that it does not include payroll processing capabilities, which may be due to configuration settings in the system.
