  The SAP error message HRPANL_EN864 indicates that there is an issue with the conversion rule being applied to a person who is not at the AOW (Algemene Ouderdomswet) age or older. This error typically arises in the context of payroll processing or pension calculations within the SAP HR module, particularly in the Netherlands, where AOW age is relevant for pension eligibility.

  Check Employee Age: Verify the age of the employee in question. If they are below the AOW age, the conversion rule should not be applied.
  
  
  Review Conversion Rules: Examine the configuration of the conversion rules in the SAP system. Ensure that the rules are set up correctly and that they are only applied to employees who meet the age criteria.
  
  
  Adjust Payroll Processing: If the employee is not eligible for the conversion rule, you may need to adjust the payroll processing logic to exclude this rule for younger employees.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or consult with your SAP HR module expert to understand the specific configuration settings related to AOW age and conversion rules.
  
  
  Testing: After making adjustments, perform testing with the affected employee records to ensure that the error no longer occurs and that payroll calculations are accurate.
