  The SAP error message HRPADIT_DECLARATION279 indicates that a cancellation (in this case, Cancellation 730) can only be processed if there is a corresponding previous record (record 483) that exists in the system. This error typically arises in the context of payroll processing or reporting in the SAP Human Capital Management (HCM) module, particularly when dealing with declarations or reports related to employee data.
  Cause:
  
  
  Missing Previous Record: The primary cause of this error is that the system is unable to find the required previous record (483) that is necessary for processing the cancellation. This could happen if:
  
  The record was never created.
  The record was deleted or not saved properly.
  There was an error in the data entry process that prevented the record from being generated.
  
  
  
  Incorrect Sequence of Operations: The cancellation process may have been initiated without following the correct sequence of operations, leading to the absence of the required previous record.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check for Previous Record: Verify if the previous record (483) exists in the system. You can do this by:
  
  Navigating to the relevant infotype or report where the record should be present.
  Using transaction codes like PA20 (Display HR Master Data) or PA30 (Maintain HR Master Data) to check the employee's records.
  
  
  
  Create the Missing Record: If the previous record does not exist, you may need to create it manually, ensuring that all necessary data is entered correctly.
  
  
  Review the Process: Ensure that the cancellation process is being followed correctly. Review the steps taken prior to the cancellation to confirm that all required records have been processed in the correct order.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help files related to the specific infotype or payroll process you are working with. This can provide insights into the required sequence of records and any specific conditions that must be met.
  
  
  Contact SAP Support: If you are unable to resolve the issue, consider reaching out to SAP support or your internal SAP support team for further assistance. They may have additional tools or insights to help troubleshoot the problem.
