• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message HRIESP426 - Error; Split payroll periods are not supported (T530 &1/&2) ?

  The SAP error message HRIESP426, which states "Split payroll periods are not supported (T530 &1/&2)," typically occurs in the context of payroll processing in SAP HR (Human Resources) when there is an attempt to process payroll for a period that is split across two different payroll periods. This situation can arise due to various reasons, such as changes in payroll periods or incorrect configuration.
  Cause:
  
  Split Payroll Periods: The error indicates that the payroll period being processed is split, meaning that it spans across two different payroll periods, which is not supported by the system.
  Configuration Issues: There may be issues with the configuration of payroll periods in the system, particularly in table T530, which defines the payroll periods.
  Incorrect Data Entry: There might be incorrect data entries in the employee master data or payroll control records that lead to this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Payroll Period Configuration:
  
  Go to transaction code SPRO and navigate to the following path:
  
  Personnel Management -> Payroll -> Payroll: General Settings -> Define Payroll Periods.
  
  
  Ensure that the payroll periods are correctly defined and that there are no overlaps or splits.
  
  
  
  Review Employee Master Data:
  
  Check the employee master data for the employees involved in the payroll run. Ensure that the payroll area and the relevant dates are correctly set.
  Use transaction code PA30 to view and edit employee master data.
  
  
  
  Adjust Payroll Control Records:
  
  Check the payroll control records for the affected employees. You can use transaction code PC00_MXX_CALC (where MXX is your country-specific payroll) to review the payroll control records.
  Ensure that the payroll control records do not indicate a split payroll period.
  
  
  
  Run Payroll for a Single Period:
  
  If possible, try to run payroll for a single payroll period instead of a split period. This may involve adjusting the payroll dates or processing the payroll in smaller batches.
  
  
  
  Consult SAP Notes:
  
  Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error. You can search for notes in the SAP Support Portal.
  
  
  
  Contact SAP Support:
