• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message HRPAYDEE2002 - Only an initial registration is possible for 2012 ?

  The SAP error message HRPAYDEE2002, which states "Only an initial registration is possible for 2012," typically occurs in the context of payroll processing, particularly when dealing with employee data and payroll year-end processing. This error is often related to the registration of employees for specific payroll periods or tax years.
  Cause:
  
  Year-End Processing: The error usually arises when there is an attempt to perform a payroll action (like a retroactive change or a correction) for a year that is not the current payroll year. In this case, it indicates that the system is expecting only an initial registration for the year 2012.
  Incorrect Payroll Period: The payroll period being processed may not be valid for the actions being taken. For example, if the system is set to process payroll for a year that has already been closed, it will not allow changes or updates.
  Data Entry Errors: There may be incorrect data entries or configurations in the employee master data or payroll settings that are causing the system to reject the action.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Payroll Year: Ensure that you are processing payroll for the correct year. If you are trying to make changes for 2012, confirm that the payroll year is still open for processing.
  Initial Registration: If you need to register an employee for the year 2012, ensure that you are performing an initial registration and not trying to make changes to an already processed payroll.
  Review Employee Data: Check the employee master data for any inconsistencies or errors that may be causing the issue. Ensure that all required fields are filled out correctly.
  Consult Payroll Configuration: Review the payroll configuration settings to ensure that they are set up correctly for the year in question. This may involve checking the payroll schema and rules.
  Contact SAP Support: If the issue persists, consider reaching out to SAP support or your internal SAP team for further assistance. They may have additional insights or solutions based on your specific system configuration.
