• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message HRPAYDEE2192 - Start of check period lies before the ELStAM start date ( &1 ). ?

  The SAP error message HRPAYDEE2192 indicates that there is a mismatch between the start date of the check period and the start date defined in the ELStAM (Elektronische Lohnsteuerabzugsmerkmale) data for an employee. ELStAM is a system used in Germany for electronic tax deduction features, and it contains important information about an employee's tax status.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when the payroll processing period you are trying to run starts before the ELStAM start date for the employee. This can happen if:
  
  The employee's ELStAM data has been updated with a new start date, but the payroll period you are trying to process is earlier than this date.

  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check ELStAM Data:

  Adjust Payroll Period:
  
  If the payroll period you are trying to process is indeed before the ELStAM start date, you will need to adjust the payroll period to start on or after the ELStAM start date.
  
  
  
  Update Employee Data:
  
  If the ELStAM start date is incorrect, you may need to update the employee's data in the system to reflect the correct start date.
  
  
  
  Consult Payroll Configuration:
  
  If you are unsure about the configuration or how to make changes, consult with your SAP HR or payroll administrator to ensure that the settings are correct.
