• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message HRPAY99CALC112 - The control records of &1 and &2 must be the same ?

  The SAP error message HRPAY99CALC112 indicates that there is a mismatch between the control records of two payroll runs or payroll periods. This typically occurs in the context of payroll processing when the system expects certain control records (like payroll area, period, or other configuration settings) to be consistent across the data being processed.
  Cause:
  
  
  Mismatched Payroll Control Records: The error usually arises when there are discrepancies in the control records of the payroll runs being compared or processed. This can happen if:
  
  Different payroll areas are being used.
  The payroll periods do not match.
  There are inconsistencies in the configuration settings for the payroll runs.
  
  
  
  Incorrect Data Selection: If the selection criteria for the payroll runs are not aligned, it can lead to this error.
  
  
  Changes in Configuration: If there have been recent changes in the payroll configuration or master data that affect the control records, this can also lead to inconsistencies.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Payroll Control Records: Review the control records for both payroll runs (indicated by &1 and &2 in the error message). Ensure that they match in terms of payroll area, period, and other relevant settings.
  
  
  Verify Payroll Area and Period: Make sure that the payroll area and period for the employees being processed are the same. If you are trying to process multiple payroll runs, ensure they are from the same payroll area and period.
  
  
  Review Selection Criteria: If you are using a report or transaction that allows for selection of multiple payroll runs, double-check the selection criteria to ensure they are consistent.
  
  
  Consult Configuration Settings: If there have been recent changes to payroll configuration, consult with your SAP HR configuration team to ensure that all settings are correctly aligned.
  
  
  Run Payroll Separately: If the issue persists, consider running the payroll for the affected employees separately to isolate the problem.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may need to use transaction codes like PC00_MXX_CALC (where MXX is your country-specific payroll) to access payroll processing.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to this error message.
  Documentation: Review SAP HR documentation for details on payroll processing and control records.
  
  If the problem continues after following these steps, it may be beneficial to engage with SAP support or your internal SAP HR team for further investigation.
