• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message HRPAYDEPY135 - & Too many history blocks (max. 4) for SRT 16 in RA period (& / &) ?

  The SAP error message HRPAYDEPY135 typically relates to payroll processing in the SAP HR module, specifically in the context of payroll results and history blocks. The error message "Too many history blocks (max. 4) for SRT 16 in RA period (& / &)" indicates that there are too many historical payroll results for a specific employee in a given period, exceeding the allowed limit of 4 history blocks.
  Cause:
  
  Excessive History Blocks: The system is designed to maintain a limited number of historical payroll results (in this case, a maximum of 4). If there are more than 4 history blocks for a specific payroll period, the system will throw this error.
  Payroll Processing Issues: This can occur due to multiple payroll runs or corrections that have been processed for the same period without properly archiving or deleting older results.
  Configuration Settings: The configuration settings in the payroll schema or the infotype settings may not be aligned with the expected number of history blocks.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Payroll Results: Check the payroll results for the employee in question. You can do this using transaction codes like PC00_MXX_CALC (where MXX is your country-specific payroll) or PA03 to view the infotypes.
  Delete Unnecessary History Blocks: If there are more than 4 history blocks, you may need to delete or archive older payroll results. This can be done using the transaction PC00_MXX_CEDT (for deleting payroll results) or through the appropriate archiving process.
  Adjust Configuration: If the business process requires more than 4 history blocks, consider adjusting the configuration settings in the payroll schema or consulting with your SAP HR functional consultant to see if this is feasible.
  Run Payroll Again: After cleaning up the history blocks, you can attempt to run the payroll process again for the affected period.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes for payroll processing and result management, such as PA20 (Display HR Master Data), PA30 (Maintain HR Master Data), and PC00_MXX_CEDT (for deleting payroll results).
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional guidance on managing payroll history blocks.
  Documentation: Review SAP documentation related to payroll processing and history management to understand the implications of maintaining payroll results and the best practices for managing them.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or an SAP HR consultant for further assistance.
