  The SAP error message HRPAYDESVEE121 indicates a discrepancy between the start date of a specific infotype (in this case, the "EEL" or "Employee Absence" infotype) and the start date of an absence record. This error typically arises in the context of payroll processing or when managing employee absences in the SAP Human Capital Management (HCM) module.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when:
  
  The start date of the absence (e.g., sick leave, vacation) does not align with the start date of the relevant payroll period or the start date of the employee's infotype record.
  There may be a misconfiguration in the absence type or the employee's infotype data.
  The absence record may have been created or modified incorrectly, leading to inconsistencies.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Absence Records:
  
  Go to the relevant infotype (e.g., IT2001 for Absences) and verify the start date of the absence. Ensure that it matches the expected start date for the payroll period.
  
  
  
  Review Infotype Data:
  
  Check the employee's infotype records (e.g., IT0000, IT0001, IT0002) to ensure that there are no discrepancies in the start dates. Pay particular attention to the "EEL" infotype and any related infotypes.
  
  
  
  Adjust Dates:
  
  If you find that the dates do not match, you may need to adjust the absence record or the infotype data to ensure consistency. This may involve changing the start date of the absence or modifying the relevant infotype.
  
  
  
  Consult with HR/Payroll Team:
  
  If you are unsure about making changes, consult with your HR or payroll team to ensure that any adjustments are compliant with company policies and regulations.
