• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message HRPADQA208 - EE is hired at the adjustment period; excluded from processing ?

  The SAP error message HRPADQA208 indicates that an employee (EE) is being hired during an adjustment period, which means that the system is excluding this employee from processing for certain payroll or HR-related functions. This typically occurs in the context of payroll processing, where specific rules and periods are defined for adjustments, such as retroactive changes or payroll corrections.
  Cause:
  
  Adjustment Period: The employee is being hired during a period that is designated as an adjustment period. This could be due to the timing of the hire relative to payroll processing cycles.
  Configuration Settings: The system may be configured to exclude new hires from processing during certain periods to prevent errors or inconsistencies in payroll calculations.
  Payroll Control Record: The payroll control record may be set in a way that does not allow new hires to be processed during the current payroll run.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check the Adjustment Period: Review the payroll calendar and adjustment periods defined in your SAP system. Ensure that the employee's hire date does not fall within an adjustment period that would exclude them from processing.
  Modify Payroll Control Record: If necessary, adjust the payroll control record to allow for the processing of new hires during the current payroll run. This may involve changing the status of the payroll period or adjusting the settings related to new hires.
  Postpone Processing: If the employee cannot be processed during the current payroll run, consider postponing their processing until the next payroll period when they can be included.
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP HR module expert to understand the specific configuration settings that may be causing this exclusion.
