  The SAP error message HRPAYDEPBSZV268 indicates that there is an issue with payroll processing related to a specific period. The message states that it is "Not a contribution month, no absence, but remuneration in period &1." This typically arises in the context of payroll processing in the Human Resources (HR) module, particularly when dealing with employee remuneration and contributions.
  Cause:
  
  
  Contribution Month Issue: The error suggests that the specified period (&1) is not recognized as a contribution month for the employee. This could be due to various reasons, such as:
  
  The employee is not eligible for contributions in that month.
  The payroll configuration does not recognize that month as a contribution month for the employee's specific payroll area or type.
  
  
  
  Absence Management: The message also indicates that there are no recorded absences for the employee in that period. This could mean that the employee was not on leave, but there is still remuneration being processed, which is not expected in a non-contribution month.
  
  
  Payroll Configuration: There may be issues with the payroll configuration settings, such as the definition of contribution months, absence types, or remuneration rules.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Employee Status: Verify the employee's status for the period in question. Ensure that the employee is eligible for contributions during that month.

  Review the absence types and ensure that they are correctly configured and that the employee's absence records are accurate.
  
  
  
  Adjust Remuneration Entries: If the remuneration is being processed incorrectly, you may need to adjust the entries for that period. This could involve:
  
  Correcting any erroneous entries in the payroll data.
  Ensuring that any remuneration that should not be processed in a non-contribution month is removed or adjusted.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or support notes related to payroll processing and contribution months for specific guidance on resolving this error.
  
  
  Testing: After making adjustments, run a test payroll for the affected period to ensure that the error is resolved and that the payroll calculations are correct.
