• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message HRIESP123 - Payroll Submission: Tax Basis mandatory (no RPN Number provided) ?

  The SAP error message HRIESP123, which states "Payroll Submission: Tax Basis mandatory (no RPN Number provided)," typically occurs in the context of payroll processing in SAP HR (Human Resources) when submitting payroll data to the relevant tax authorities. This error indicates that the system requires a Tax Basis (RPN Number) for the payroll submission, but it has not been provided.
  Cause:
  
  Missing RPN Number: The RPN (Revenue Payroll Number) is essential for tax reporting in certain jurisdictions, particularly in Ireland. If the employee's RPN is not maintained in the system, the payroll submission cannot proceed.
  Incorrect Configuration: There may be issues with the configuration of the payroll system, leading to the RPN not being fetched or recognized during the payroll processing.
  Data Entry Errors: There could be errors in the employee master data or payroll data that prevent the RPN from being correctly associated with the employee.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Employee Master Data:
  
  Navigate to the employee's master data in SAP (Transaction PA30).
  Ensure that the RPN Number is correctly entered in the relevant infotype (usually Infotype 0003 - Payroll Status or Infotype 0001 - Organizational Assignment).
  If the RPN is missing, obtain the correct RPN from the employee or the relevant tax authority and enter it.
  
  
  
  Review Payroll Configuration:
  
  Check the payroll configuration settings to ensure that the system is set up to handle RPNs correctly.
  Ensure that the payroll schema and rules are correctly configured to include the RPN in the payroll calculation.
  
  
  
  Run Payroll Simulation:
  
  After entering the RPN, run a payroll simulation to ensure that the error does not persist and that the RPN is being recognized by the system.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
