  The SAP error message HRPADDERR015 indicates that there is an issue with the retroactive accounting date in the Human Resources (HR) module. Specifically, it means that the lowest retroactive accounting date does not allow for the change of the desired retroactive accounting date. This typically occurs when you are trying to make changes to an employee's payroll data that are not allowed due to the defined retroactive accounting periods.
  Cause:
  
  Retroactive Accounting Period: The system has a defined retroactive accounting period, which restricts changes to payroll data to a certain timeframe. If the desired retroactive accounting date falls outside of this period, the error will occur.

  Adjust the Desired Date: If the desired retroactive accounting date is outside the allowed range, you may need to adjust it to a date that is permissible.
  Review Payroll Results: Check the payroll results for the employee in question. If there are already processed payroll results for the period you are trying to change, you may need to reverse or adjust those results before making changes.
  Consult with HR/Payroll Administrator: If you are unsure about the settings or how to proceed, consult with your HR or payroll administrator. They may have insights into the specific configurations and policies in place.
  Transaction Codes: Use transaction codes like PA30 (Maintain HR Master Data) or PC00_MXX_CALC (Payroll Calculation) to review and adjust the necessary data.
