  The SAP error message HRPAYFI_KATRE223 indicates that there is a negative delta in the payroll results for a specific period, which cannot be reported. This typically occurs in the context of payroll processing and reporting in SAP HR (Human Resources) and can be related to various issues in the payroll calculation or data management.
  Cause:
  
  
  Negative Delta Calculation: The error suggests that the system has detected a negative delta, meaning that the payroll results for the specified period are less than those of the previous period. This can happen due to adjustments, corrections, or retroactive changes that have been made to payroll data.
  
  
  Incorrect Data Entry: There may be incorrect or incomplete data entries in the payroll results, leading to discrepancies in the calculations.
  
  
  Retroactive Accounting: If there are retroactive changes made to payroll data, it can lead to negative deltas if the adjustments are not properly accounted for.
  
  
  Configuration Issues: There may be issues with the configuration of payroll schemas or rules that affect how payroll results are calculated and reported.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Review Payroll Results: Check the payroll results for the specified period and the previous periods to identify any discrepancies. Look for any adjustments or corrections that may have been made.
  
  
  Check for Retroactive Changes: If there have been any retroactive changes, ensure that they have been processed correctly and that the payroll results reflect these changes accurately.
  
  
  Correct Data Entries: If incorrect data entries are found, correct them in the system. This may involve adjusting wage types or other payroll-related data.
  
  
  Run Payroll Simulation: Perform a payroll simulation for the affected period to see if the issue persists. This can help identify any underlying problems in the payroll calculation.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or notes related to this error message for any specific guidance or patches that may address the issue.
