  The SAP error message HRPAYAT_0058005 indicates that there is an issue related to the application of commuter rates in the context of employees who have a company car. This error typically arises in the Austrian payroll module when the system detects that an employee is using a company car, which affects the calculation of commuter allowances.
  Cause:
  The error is triggered because, as of May 1, 2013, Austrian tax regulations stipulate that employees who have a company car are not eligible to claim commuter allowances.

  Adjust Commuter Allowance Entries: If the employee is incorrectly receiving a commuter allowance despite having a company car, you may need to adjust or remove the relevant entries in the payroll system.
  
  
  Consult with Payroll Specialist: If you are unsure about the changes needed, it may be beneficial to consult with a payroll specialist or an SAP HR consultant who is familiar with Austrian payroll regulations.
  
  
  Testing: After making the necessary adjustments, run a test payroll to ensure that the error no longer occurs and that the payroll calculations are correct.
