• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message HRPAY99OC_CE003 - Active personnel assignment was not set ?

  The SAP error message HRPAY99OC_CE003 indicates that there is an issue with the active personnel assignment not being set for a specific employee in the payroll process. This error typically arises in the context of payroll processing in the SAP Human Capital Management (HCM) module.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Personnel Assignment: The employee may not have an active personnel assignment in the system for the payroll period being processed.
  Incorrect Infotype Data: The relevant infotypes (such as Infotype 0000 - Actions, Infotype 0001 - Organizational Assignment, etc.) may not be correctly maintained or may be missing.
  Date Issues: The validity dates of the personnel assignment may not align with the payroll period being processed.
  Employee Status: The employee may be inactive or on leave, which could affect their personnel assignment status.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Personnel Assignment: Verify that the employee has an active personnel assignment in the system. You can do this by checking the employee's infotype records.
  
  Use transaction code PA20 (Display HR Master Data) to view the employee's data.
  Ensure that the relevant infotypes are correctly maintained and that the employee is active for the payroll period.
  
  
  
  Review Infotype Data: Ensure that the necessary infotypes are filled out correctly:
  
  Infotype 0000 (Actions) should show the employee's current status.
  Infotype 0001 (Organizational Assignment) should reflect the correct organizational unit and position.
  
  
  
  Check Validity Dates: Make sure that the validity dates for the personnel assignment cover the payroll period being processed. If the employee's assignment has expired or is not yet valid, it will lead to this error.
  
  
  Employee Status: Confirm that the employee is not in a status that would prevent payroll processing (e.g., inactive, on leave without pay).
  
  
  Run Payroll Simulation: After making the necessary corrections, run a payroll simulation to ensure that the error has been resolved.
  
  
  Related Information:
