• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message HRPAYAT00212 - KE start/end must be filled when a deregistration reason is selected ?

  The SAP error message HRPAYAT00212 indicates that when a deregistration reason is selected in the payroll or personnel administration module, the start and end dates must be filled in. This error typically occurs in the context of managing employee data, particularly when processing terminations or changes in employment status.
  Cause:
  The error arises because the system requires specific date information to process the deregistration correctly. When you select a deregistration reason (such as termination, retirement, etc.), the system expects you to provide the start and end dates for the period during which the deregistration is effective. If these fields are left blank, the system cannot proceed, resulting in the error message.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to ensure that both the start and end dates are filled in when you select a deregistration reason. Here are the steps to follow:
  
  
  Access the relevant infotype: Go to the infotype where you are entering the deregistration reason (usually Infotype 0000 - Actions or Infotype 0001 - Organizational Assignment).
  
  
  Select the appropriate action: Choose the action that corresponds to the deregistration reason you are processing.
  
  
  Fill in the dates: Make sure to enter the start date (the date the deregistration takes effect) and the end date (the date the employee's employment officially ends).
  
  
  Save the changes: After entering the required information, save your changes.
  
  
  Re-run the payroll or process: If applicable, re-run the payroll or any other processes that were interrupted by the error.
