• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message HRPAYAT_0526408 - If "Legal Basis: Code" is empty, text field must also remain empty. ?

  The SAP error message HRPAYAT_0526408 indicates that there is a validation issue related to the "Legal Basis: Code" field in the payroll or HR module. Specifically, it states that if the "Legal Basis: Code" is empty, then the corresponding text field must also be empty.

  Review Configuration:
