  The SAP error message HRPADRUIT084 indicates that the payroll for a specific period has already been calculated, and the system is preventing any further changes to the payroll results until the payroll status is reset. This error typically occurs in the context of payroll processing in SAP HR (Human Resources) when an attempt is made to reprocess or alter payroll results after they have already been finalized.
  Cause:
  
  Payroll Already Processed: The payroll for the specified period has already been calculated and finalized.
  Attempt to Recalculate: There is an attempt to recalculate or modify payroll results without resetting the payroll status.
  Incorrect Sequence of Operations: The payroll process may not have followed the correct sequence, leading to this error when trying to make changes.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to reset the payroll status for the relevant period. Here are the steps to do this:
  
  
  Access the Payroll Control Record:
  
  Go to the transaction code PA03 (Maintain Payroll Control Record).
  Check the payroll control record for the relevant period and ensure it is set to allow changes.
  
  
  
  Reset Payroll Status:
  
  Use the transaction code PC00_MXX_CALC (where MXX is your country-specific payroll driver) to reset the payroll status.
  You may need to run the payroll in "Test" mode to ensure that the system allows you to make changes.
  
  
  
  Recalculate Payroll:
  
  After resetting the payroll status, you can proceed to recalculate the payroll for the affected period.
  Ensure that all necessary changes are made before finalizing the payroll again.
  
  
  
  Check for Errors:
