HRPAYDESV677 - Details

• The SAP error message HRPAYDESV677 indicates that there are records for a specific infotype (denoted by &1) that exist before the earliest personnel retroactive accounting date. This typically occurs in the context of payroll processing in SAP HR (Human Resources) when the system is trying to process payroll for a period that has retroactive changes.
  
  Cause:
  
  
  Retroactive Accounting Date: The error arises when there are infotype records (like personal data, payroll data, etc.) that have effective dates earlier than the defined retroactive accounting date for the employee. This means that the system is trying to process payroll for a period that has changes in the employee's data that were not accounted for due to the retroactive accounting settings.
  
  
  Infotype Records: The specific infotype mentioned in the error message (represented by &1) has records that are effective before the retroactive accounting date, which prevents the payroll from being processed correctly.
