• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message HRPAYAT_PAYROLL_SIMU009 - Record with simulation name &1 for &2 &3 was maintained manually ?

  The SAP error message HRPAYAT_PAYROLL_SIMU009 indicates that there is a record in the payroll simulation that has been manually maintained, which is causing a conflict during the payroll simulation process. This error typically arises in the context of payroll processing in SAP HR (Human Resources) modules, particularly when using the payroll simulation functionality.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when:
  
  A payroll simulation record has been manually adjusted or created, which conflicts with the automated payroll processing.
  The system expects to find a record that has not been manually altered, leading to inconsistencies in the payroll data.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check the Simulation Records:
  
  Go to the payroll simulation transaction (e.g., PC00_MXX_CALC) and check the records for the specified simulation name.
  Identify the record that has been manually maintained.
  
  
  
  Review Manual Changes:
  
  Determine if the manual changes are necessary. If they are not, consider reverting the record to its original state.
  If the manual changes are required, ensure that they are consistent with the payroll processing logic.
  
  
  
  Delete or Adjust the Record:
  
  If the manual record is not needed, you can delete it from the simulation.
  If adjustments are necessary, ensure that they align with the expected data structure and values.
  
  
  
  Re-run the Payroll Simulation:
  
  After making the necessary adjustments, re-run the payroll simulation to see if the error persists.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or notes related to payroll simulation errors for additional insights or specific instructions related to your version of SAP.

  SAP Notes: Check for any SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide patches or updates that could resolve the issue.
  User Authorization: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to view and modify payroll simulation records.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the cause of the error and implement a solution to resolve it.
