• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message HRPAYBE_TAX019 - Productive Temse file has been already created ?

  The SAP error message HRPAYBE_TAX019 indicates that a productive Temse (temporary sequential file) file has already been created for the payroll process. This error typically occurs in the context of payroll processing in the SAP HR module, particularly in the Belgian payroll system.
  Cause:
  The error arises when the system attempts to create a new productive Temse file for payroll processing, but a file with the same identifier already exists. This situation can occur due to:
  
  Duplicate Payroll Runs: Attempting to run payroll for the same period multiple times without deleting the previous Temse file.
  System Configuration Issues: Incorrect settings in the payroll configuration that lead to the creation of multiple files for the same payroll run.
  User Error: A user may have inadvertently triggered the payroll process again without clearing the previous run.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the HRPAYBE_TAX019 error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Existing Temse Files:
  
  Use transaction code SE11 or SE78 to check the existing Temse files. Look for the file associated with the payroll period you are trying to process.
  You can also use transaction SP01 to view the spool requests and check for any existing Temse files.
  
  
  
  Delete or Archive the Existing Temse File:
  
  If you confirm that the Temse file is no longer needed, you can delete it. Use transaction SARA to archive or delete the Temse file.
  Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to perform this action.
  
  
  
  Re-run the Payroll Process:
  
  After deleting the existing Temse file, you can re-run the payroll process for the desired period.
  
  
  
  Review Payroll Configuration:
  
  If this issue occurs frequently, review the payroll configuration settings to ensure that they are set up correctly to prevent duplicate runs.
