• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message HRPAY99CALC705 - Payroll area &1 still has no control record ?

  The SAP error message HRPAY99CALC705 indicates that the payroll area specified (denoted by &1) does not have a control record set up. This control record is essential for processing payroll in SAP HR (Human Resources) as it defines the parameters and settings for payroll processing for that specific payroll area.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is the absence of a control record for the specified payroll area. Control records are necessary for payroll processing as they contain important information such as:
  
  Payroll period
  Payroll status
  Start and end dates for the payroll run
  Other configuration settings relevant to payroll processing
  
  If the control record is missing, the system cannot determine how to process payroll for that area, leading to this error.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to create or maintain the control record for the specified payroll area. Here are the steps to do this:
  
  
  Access the Control Record Maintenance:
  
  Use transaction code PC00_MXX_CALC (where MXX is your country-specific payroll driver, e.g., PC00_M40_CALC for Germany).
  Alternatively, you can use transaction code PA03 to access the control record directly.
  
  
  
  Create or Update the Control Record:
  
  In the control record maintenance screen, enter the payroll area that is causing the error.
  If a control record does not exist, you will need to create one. If it exists but is not configured correctly, you may need to update it.
  Ensure that you set the correct payroll period, status, and any other necessary parameters.
  
  
  
  Save the Changes:
  
  After entering the required information, save the control record.
  
  
  
  Re-run the Payroll Process:
  
  After creating or updating the control record, attempt to re-run the payroll process to see if the error is resolved.
