• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message HRPAYDEST720 - Return code 2: Request not permitted, person deceased before 01.07.2007 ?

  The SAP error message HRPAYDEST720 with return code 2 indicates that a request is not permitted because the person in question is marked as deceased before July 1, 2007. This error typically arises in the context of payroll processing or personnel administration when trying to perform actions related to an employee who has been marked as deceased in the system.
  Cause:
  
  Deceased Status: The employee's status in the SAP system is set to "deceased," which prevents any further payroll processing or personnel actions.
  Date Constraint: The specific date (before July 1, 2007) is significant because it may relate to specific legal or organizational policies regarding the handling of deceased employees' records.
  Request Type: The type of request being made (e.g., payroll run, data change) is not allowed for deceased employees.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Employee Status: Check the employee's status in the SAP system. If the employee is indeed marked as deceased, confirm that this status is accurate.
  Consult Policies: Review your organization's policies regarding deceased employees. There may be specific procedures to follow for handling payroll or personnel records for such cases.
  Adjust Request: If the request is not appropriate for a deceased employee, consider whether the action can be modified or if it should be canceled.
  Contact HR or Payroll Department: If you believe the request should be processed despite the deceased status, consult with your HR or payroll department for guidance. They may have the authority to override the restriction or provide alternative solutions.
  System Configuration: If this error is occurring inappropriately (e.g., if the employee is not actually deceased), it may require a review of the configuration in the SAP system to ensure that the employee's status is correctly maintained.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any updates or patches related to this error message. SAP frequently releases notes that address specific issues or provide guidance on handling certain scenarios.
