• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message HRPADRU_COMMON_REPS521 - Row &4 contains a dublicated entry with PERNR=&1, SEQNR=&2, NUMPO=&3 ?

  The SAP error message HRPADRU_COMMON_REPS521 indicates that there is a duplicate entry in the payroll results for a specific personnel number (PERNR), sequence number (SEQNR), and number of periods (NUMPO). This typically occurs during payroll processing when the system detects that the same payroll result has been recorded more than once for the same employee and period.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Payroll Results: The most common cause is that the payroll results for the specified employee (PERNR) and period (NUMPO) have been entered multiple times, leading to a conflict.
  Data Migration Issues: If data has been migrated from another system or if there have been manual entries that were not properly validated, duplicates can occur.
  Incorrect Configuration: Configuration settings in the payroll module may allow for duplicate entries under certain conditions.
  
  Solution:
  
  Identify Duplicates: Use transaction codes like SE16 or SE11 to check the relevant database tables (e.g., PCL1, PCL2, RT, PA tables) for duplicate entries based on the PERNR, SEQNR, and NUMPO.
  Delete or Correct Duplicates: Once identified, you can either delete the duplicate entries or correct them as necessary. This may involve using transaction codes like PA30 (Maintain HR Master Data) or PA03 (Maintain Payroll Results).
  Check Payroll Configuration: Review the payroll configuration to ensure that it is set up correctly to prevent duplicates from being created in the future.
  Run Payroll Again: After resolving the duplicates, you may need to rerun the payroll process for the affected period.
