• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message HRIESP275 - RPN can't be processed as the RPN valid for the prev. Tax year ?

  The SAP error message HRIESP275 indicates that the RPN (Relevant Pay Number) cannot be processed because it is valid for the previous tax year.

  Check RPN Validity: Verify the validity of the RPN. Ensure that you are using the correct RPN for the current tax year. You may need to obtain a new RPN from the tax authority if the current one is outdated.
  Update Employee Records: If the employee has received a new RPN, update their records in SAP HR to reflect the new RPN.
  Correct Payroll Period: Ensure that you are processing payroll for the correct period. If you are processing payroll for the previous tax year, ensure that you are using the correct RPN for that year.
