  The SAP error message HRPAYFI_KATRE280 indicates that there is a negative delta in the payroll results, specifically related to an overpayment process. This error typically arises in the context of payroll processing when there is a discrepancy in the amounts that have been processed versus what is expected.
  Cause:
  
  
  Negative Delta: This usually means that the system has detected a situation where the payroll results show a negative change (delta) in the amount that should be paid to an employee. This can occur due to various reasons, such as:
  
  Incorrect adjustments or corrections made in previous payroll runs.
  Manual entries that have led to an overpayment being recorded.
  Changes in employee data (e.g., tax class, deductions) that were not properly accounted for in the payroll calculation.
  
  
  
  Overpayment Process: The error message suggests that the system is trying to resolve the negative delta through an overpayment process, which may not be correctly configured or may have issues in the underlying data.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Review Payroll Results: Check the payroll results for the employee in question. Look for any discrepancies in the amounts that have been processed. You can use transaction codes like PC_PAYRESULT to analyze the payroll results.
  
  
  Check for Adjustments: Investigate any recent adjustments or corrections made to the payroll. Ensure that all changes are valid and correctly reflected in the payroll results.
  
  
  Correct Overpayment Entries: If there are entries that indicate an overpayment, you may need to reverse or adjust these entries. This can involve creating a negative entry to offset the overpayment.
  
  
  Run Payroll Simulation: Before running the actual payroll, consider running a payroll simulation to identify any potential issues that could lead to negative deltas.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or notes related to payroll processing and overpayment handling. There may be specific guidelines or configurations that need to be checked.
  
  
  Engage SAP Support: If the issue persists and you cannot identify the root cause, consider reaching out to SAP support for assistance. They may provide insights based on the specific configuration of your SAP system.
