  The SAP error message HRPAYCE107 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to read a specific infotype for a given period. This error typically occurs in the context of HR (Human Resources) modules when trying to access employee data.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by a lack of authorization in the user's role or profile to access the specified infotype for the specified period. Infotypes in SAP HR are used to store various types of employee-related data, and each infotype has specific authorization checks associated with it.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs. This will show you the authorization check that failed and provide insight into which specific authorization object is missing.
  Alternatively, you can use transaction code SU01 to check the user's roles and authorizations.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Objects:
  
  Identify the relevant authorization objects for the infotype in question. Common authorization objects for HR infotypes include:
  
  P_ORGIN: Personnel Administration
  P_PERNR: Personnel Number
  P_TCODE: Transaction Code
  
  
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations for the infotype and the period specified.
  
  
  
  Modify User Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, you may need to modify their roles or create a new role that includes the required authorizations.
  Work with your SAP security team or administrator to ensure that the user is granted the appropriate access.
  
  
  
  Check Infotype Configuration:
  
  Ensure that the infotype is correctly configured and that there are no restrictions on access for the specified period.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the user’s authorizations, have the user log out and log back in, then attempt to access the infotype again to verify that the issue has been resolved.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
