  The SAP error message HRITFDEPSVADM004 typically occurs in the context of payroll processing, particularly when dealing with special payments in the Human Resources (HR) module. This error indicates that there is a value entered in the "Other Special Payment" field, but the system expects that this field should only be populated if the "Specify Manually" option is selected.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by a mismatch between the configuration of the payroll processing and the data entered for the employee's payment. Specifically, it occurs when:
  
  The "Other Special Payment" field has been filled with a value, but the "Specify Manually" checkbox is not checked.
