• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message HRPAYDEZFA058 - Negative amount &1 in field '&2[&3]' is not permitted ?

  The SAP error message HRPAYDEZFA058 indicates that a negative amount is being processed in a field where it is not permitted. This error typically arises in the context of payroll processing within the SAP Human Resources (HR) module, particularly in the area of payroll accounting.
  Cause:
  
  
  Negative Amounts in Payroll: The error usually occurs when there is an attempt to enter a negative value in a field that is expected to contain only positive values. This can happen due to:
  
  Incorrect configuration of wage types.
  Manual entry errors during payroll processing.
  Incorrect data in master records or infotypes.
  Issues with the calculation of deductions or contributions that should not be negative.
  
  
  
  Wage Type Configuration: Certain wage types are configured to only accept positive values. If a calculation results in a negative value for these wage types, the system will throw this error.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Review Payroll Data: Check the payroll data for the employee in question. Look for any wage types that are showing negative values and investigate why this is happening.
  
  
  Check Wage Type Configuration: 
  
  Go to the configuration settings for wage types in the SAP system (Transaction code: SM30 for table T512W).
  Ensure that the wage types involved are correctly configured to allow negative amounts if they should be allowed, or correct the logic if they should not be.
  
  
  
  Correct Master Data: Review the employee's master data (infotypes) to ensure that there are no incorrect entries that could lead to negative amounts. This includes checking:
  
  Infotype 0008 (Basic Pay)
  Infotype 0014 (Recurring Payments/Deductions)
  Infotype 0015 (Additional Payments)
  
  
  
  Adjust Payroll Calculation: If the negative amount is a result of a calculation error, you may need to adjust the payroll calculation rules or formulas to ensure that they do not produce negative values where they are not allowed.
  
  
  Run Payroll Simulation: Before running the actual payroll, use the payroll simulation feature to identify any potential issues. This can help catch errors before they affect the payroll run.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If the issue persists, consult SAP documentation or reach out to SAP support for further assistance, as there may be specific notes or patches related to this error.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as PA30 (Maintain HR Master Data), PC00_MXX_CALC (Payroll Calculation), and SM30 (Table Maintenance).
  SAP Notes: Check for any SAP Notes related to payroll processing and error messages for updates or fixes.
  Testing Environment: If possible, replicate the issue in a testing environment to better understand the cause without affecting live data.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the root cause of the error and implement a solution to resolve it.
