• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message HRPADIN01144 - Indirect valuation INVAL D for &1: Basic wage type is zero for &2 on &3 ?

  The SAP error message HRPADIN01144 indicates an issue with indirect valuation in the payroll process, specifically that the basic wage type is zero for a particular employee on a specific date. This error typically arises in the context of payroll processing when the system expects a value for a wage type but finds it to be zero.
  Cause:
  
  Missing or Incorrect Master Data: The employee's master data may not have been maintained correctly. This includes the infotype records (like IT0008 for Basic Pay) that define the employee's wage types and amounts.
  Wage Type Configuration: The wage type in question may not be configured properly in the payroll schema or may not be set up to receive values.
  Time Management Issues: If the employee has not worked or has not been assigned any time-related data (like attendance or absence), the system may not calculate any wage type values.
  Payroll Period: The payroll period being processed may not have any relevant data for the employee, leading to a zero value for the wage type.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Employee Master Data:
  
  Go to the employee's master data (transaction PA20 or PA30) and check the relevant infotypes, especially IT0008 (Basic Pay) and IT0000 (Actions).
  Ensure that the basic wage type is correctly maintained and has a non-zero value.
  
  
  
  Review Payroll Configuration:
  
  Check the configuration of the wage type in the payroll schema (transaction PE01) to ensure it is set up correctly.
  Verify that the wage type is included in the relevant payroll calculations.
  
  
  
  Validate Time Data:
  
  Ensure that the employee has valid time data for the payroll period being processed. Check for any attendance or absence records that may affect the wage type calculation.
  
  
  
  Run a Simulation:
  
  Use the payroll simulation (transaction PC00_MXX_CALC) to run a test payroll for the employee and see if the error persists. This can help identify if the issue is with the data or the configuration.
  
  
  
  Check for Overrides:
  
  Look for any overrides or specific conditions that might affect the wage type calculation for the employee.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Infotypes: Familiarize yourself with the relevant infotypes that affect payroll, such as IT0008 (Basic Pay), IT0007 (Planned Working Time), and IT0014 (Recurring Payments/Deductions).
  Wage Type Catalog: Review the wage type catalog to understand the purpose and configuration of the wage types being used.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or updates related to this error message. Sometimes, specific patches or updates can resolve underlying issues.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the root cause of the error and implement the necessary corrections to resolve it.
