  The SAP error message HRPAYAT_PAYROLL_ST404 typically relates to payroll processing in the SAP HR module, specifically concerning the handling of child data in the context of payroll calculations. The message indicates that a child has reached the age of majority (which varies by country) between two specified dates, and it suggests checking the infotype IT0042 (which is used for storing family member data).
  Cause:
  
  Age of Majority: The error occurs when the system identifies that a child has reached the age of majority (e.g., 18 years in many countries) during the payroll period being processed. This can affect deductions, benefits, or allowances that are dependent on the child's age.
  Incorrect Data: There may be incorrect or incomplete data in infotype IT0042, such as the child's date of birth or the relationship type.
  Payroll Configuration: The payroll configuration may not be set up correctly to handle changes in dependent status based on age.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check IT0042: 
  
  Go to the employee's master data and check infotype 0042 (Family Member/Dependent). Ensure that the child's date of birth is correctly entered.
  Verify that the relationship type is appropriate and that there are no missing records.
  
  
  
  Update Records: 
  
  If the child has indeed reached the age of majority, update the records accordingly. This may involve changing the relationship status or removing the child from the payroll calculations if they no longer qualify for benefits.
  
  
  
  Review Payroll Configuration: 
  
  Check the payroll configuration settings to ensure that they are set up to handle age-related changes correctly. This may involve consulting with your SAP HR configuration team.
  
  
  
  Testing:
