  Cause:
  
  
  Missing Configuration: The error often arises when a specific constant that is expected in the payroll or declaration process is not defined in the system. This could be due to:
  
  Incomplete configuration in the payroll schema.
  Missing entries in the relevant tables (e.g., constants for tax calculations, social security contributions, etc.).
  Incorrect or incomplete implementation of the payroll process.
  
  
  
  Data Issues: There may be issues with the employee master data or infotypes that are required for the payroll process, leading to the absence of expected constants.

  Solution:
  
  
  Check Configuration:

  Review Payroll Schema:
