• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message HRPAY99CALC732 - Person &1 not selected because payroll has already run for period &2 ?

  The SAP error message HRPAY99CALC732 indicates that a specific employee (denoted by &1) has not been selected for payroll processing because payroll has already been executed for the specified period (denoted by &2). This error typically occurs in the context of payroll processing in SAP HR (Human Resources) when an attempt is made to include an employee in a payroll run for a period that has already been closed.
  Cause:
  
  Payroll Already Processed: The primary cause of this error is that the payroll for the specified period has already been completed. Once payroll is processed for a period, employees cannot be included in that payroll run again.
  Incorrect Period Selection: The user may have mistakenly selected a period for payroll processing that has already been finalized.
  Employee Status: The employee may have been inactive or not eligible for payroll during the specified period.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Payroll Status: Verify if the payroll for the specified period has indeed been processed. You can do this by checking the payroll results for that period.
  Reopen Payroll Period: If there is a valid reason to include the employee in the payroll run (e.g., corrections or adjustments), you may need to reopen the payroll period. This typically requires specific authorizations and should be done with caution, as it can affect financial reporting.
  Run Off-Cycle Payroll: If the employee needs to be paid for the period in question, consider running an off-cycle payroll run. This allows you to process payments outside of the regular payroll cycle.
  Review Employee Data: Ensure that the employee's status and eligibility for payroll are correctly set up in the system. Check for any changes in employment status that may affect payroll processing.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or your organization's payroll processing guidelines for specific procedures related to payroll adjustments.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may use transaction codes like PC00_MXX_CALC (where MXX is the country-specific payroll driver) to run payroll and check results.
  Payroll Control Record: Check the payroll control record (transaction code PA03) to see if the payroll period is open or closed.
  Authorization: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to make changes to payroll processing.
  SAP Notes: Look for relevant SAP Notes that may provide additional insights or solutions related to this error message.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP HR support team or a functional consultant who specializes in payroll processing.
