  Check Employee Master Data: 
  
  Go to the employee's master data in the SAP system (usually in the PA module).
  Ensure that the residence state for each child is correctly entered in the relevant infotype (typically Infotype 0021 - Family/Dependents).
  
  
  
  Update Missing Information:
  
  If the residence state is missing, update the information for the children. Make sure to enter the correct residence state that corresponds to the children's actual residence.
  
  
  
  Review Payroll Configuration:
  
  Ensure that the payroll configuration is set up correctly to handle the residence state information for children. This may involve checking the relevant payroll schemas and rules.
  
  
  
  Test Payroll Run:
