• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message HRPAYDEST703 - IT 0012 is not delimited at the start of the year ?

  The SAP error message HRPAYDEST703 indicates that the infotype IT 0012 (Basic Pay) is not properly delimited at the start of the year. This typically occurs in the context of payroll processing when the system expects a valid record for an employee's basic pay at the beginning of the new year, but it finds that the record is either missing or not correctly set up.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Delimitation: The infotype 0012 for the employee may not have been delimited correctly at the end of the previous year. This means that the system does not recognize a valid record for the new year.
  Incorrect Validity Dates: The validity dates for the infotype records may not cover the new year, leading to the error.
  Data Entry Errors: There may have been errors during data entry or updates to the employee's records, resulting in gaps or overlaps in the infotype records.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Infotype Records: 
  
  Go to the employee's master data (transaction code PA30) and check the infotype 0012 for the employee in question.
  Ensure that there is a record for the new year and that it is correctly delimited.
  
  
  
  Delimit the Previous Record:
  
  If there is a record that extends into the new year, you may need to delimit it to ensure that there is a valid record for the new year.
  Use transaction PA30 to delimit the existing record if necessary.
  
  
  
  Create a New Record:
  
  If there is no record for the new year, create a new record in infotype 0012 with the appropriate start date and salary information.
  
  
  
  Review Payroll Control Record:
  
  Ensure that the payroll control record is set up correctly for the new year. This includes checking the payroll period and ensuring that the payroll is open for processing.
  
  
  
  Run Consistency Checks:
  
  Use transaction code PU03 to run consistency checks on the payroll data to identify any other potential issues.
