  The SAP error message HRPAYDESV222 indicates that there is an attempt to perform retroactive accounting for a payroll period that is before the start of an automatic payroll procedure. This typically occurs in the context of payroll processing in SAP HR (Human Resources) when there are changes to employee data that require adjustments to previous payroll periods.

  Payroll Control Record: The payroll control record may not allow retroactive accounting for periods that are closed or for which the payroll has already been processed.
  Configuration Settings: The configuration settings in the payroll module may restrict retroactive accounting to certain periods or may not be set up to handle such changes.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Payroll Control Record: Ensure that the payroll control record is set up correctly and allows for retroactive accounting. You may need to adjust the settings to enable retroactive processing for the required periods.
  Adjust Retroactive Accounting Period: If the changes need to be applied to a period that is not allowed, consider adjusting the payroll period or the changes being made to fit within the allowed retroactive accounting periods.
  Review Configuration: Check the configuration settings in the SAP system related to payroll processing and retroactive accounting. Ensure that the settings align with your organization's requirements for handling retroactive changes.
  Run Payroll for the Affected Period: If necessary, run the payroll for the affected period to ensure that all changes are processed correctly.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or consult with your SAP HR functional consultant for specific guidance on handling retroactive accounting in your system.
