• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message HRPAYBR_EFD060 - The processed event content is identic to the event &1 already saved ?

  The SAP error message HRPAYBR_EFD060 indicates that the processed event content is identical to an event that has already been saved in the system. This typically occurs in the context of payroll processing or employee data management, particularly in Brazil, where the EFD (Escrituração Fiscal Digital) is relevant for tax reporting.
  Cause:
  
  
  Duplicate Event Submission: The error usually arises when there is an attempt to submit an event (like a payroll event) that has already been processed and saved in the system. This can happen if:
  
  The same payroll run is being processed multiple times.
  There is a mistake in the data entry or processing logic that leads to the same event being generated again.
  A manual entry or upload of data that matches an existing record.
  
  
  
  Timing Issues: If the system processes events in a batch and there are timing issues, it may lead to the same event being processed more than once.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check for Duplicates: Review the events that have been processed to ensure that the event you are trying to submit is not already present in the system. You can do this by querying the relevant tables or using transaction codes that allow you to view processed payroll events.
  
  
  Adjust Processing Logic: If the error is due to a processing logic issue, you may need to adjust the logic in your payroll processing or event generation to prevent duplicates.
  
  
  Data Validation: Implement validation checks before submitting events to ensure that duplicates are not created. This can include checks against existing records in the database.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or notes related to the specific error message for any additional guidance or updates that may address the issue.
  
  
  Contact SAP Support: If the issue persists and you cannot identify the cause, consider reaching out to SAP support for assistance. They may provide patches or specific guidance based on your system configuration.
