  The SAP error message "HRPAYIEINFOTYPES179 Currency IEP not valid after 01/01/2002" typically occurs in the context of payroll processing or when dealing with infotypes related to employee data in the Human Resources (HR) module. This specific error indicates that the currency code "IEP" (Irish Pound) is no longer valid for transactions or payroll processing after January 1, 2002, due to the transition of Ireland to the Euro (EUR).
  Cause:
  
  Currency Transition: The Irish Pound (IEP) was replaced by the Euro (EUR) on January 1, 2002. Any payroll or financial transactions that reference IEP after this date will trigger this error.
  Data Entry: There may be historical data or infotype entries that still reference IEP, which are now invalid.
  Configuration Issues: The system may not have been updated to reflect the currency change, leading to the use of outdated currency codes.
  
  Solution:
  
  Update Infotypes: Review and update any infotypes that reference the IEP currency. This may involve changing the currency to EUR for any records that are dated after January 1, 2002.
  
  Use transaction codes like PA30 (Maintain HR Master Data) to check and update employee records.
  
  
  Data Migration: If there are historical records that need to be preserved, consider migrating the data to reflect the new currency while maintaining the integrity of historical data.
  Configuration Check: Ensure that the system configuration is correct and that all relevant settings have been updated to reflect the currency change. This may involve checking the currency settings in the SAP configuration (SPRO).
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP notes or documentation regarding currency changes and payroll processing to ensure compliance with the latest standards.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may provide additional guidance or patches related to currency handling in payroll.
  Training and Support: If you are unsure about making changes, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting with an SAP HR expert.
  Testing: After making changes, conduct thorough testing to ensure that payroll processing works correctly without errors.
  
  By addressing the outdated currency references and ensuring that all data is aligned with current standards, you should be able to resolve the error and continue with payroll processing.
