• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message HRPAYIEPAYROLL015 - There are no special case employees ?

  The SAP error message HRPAYIEPAYROLL015 ("There are no special case employees") typically occurs in the context of payroll processing within the SAP Human Capital Management (HCM) module. This error indicates that the payroll run is attempting to process special case employees, but none are found in the system for the specified criteria.
  Cause:
  
  No Special Case Employees Defined: The payroll run is configured to look for special case employees (e.g., employees with specific payroll conditions or exceptions), but there are no employees that meet those criteria in the current payroll period.
  Incorrect Selection Criteria: The selection criteria used for the payroll run may not match any employees, leading to the absence of special case employees.
  Configuration Issues: There may be issues with the configuration of the payroll schema or the specific payroll driver being used, which could affect how special cases are identified.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Employee Records: Verify if there are any employees who should be classified as special case employees. This can be done by reviewing employee master data and payroll status.
  Review Payroll Selection Criteria: Ensure that the selection criteria for the payroll run are correctly set up. Adjust the criteria if necessary to include the relevant employees.
  Configuration Review: Check the payroll configuration settings to ensure that the special case employees are correctly defined and that the payroll schema is set up to recognize them.
  Run Payroll for All Employees: If the intention is to run payroll for all employees, ensure that the payroll run is not limited to special cases only.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to payroll processing to understand the specific requirements for special case employees.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional guidance on handling special case employees.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with transaction codes related to payroll processing, such as PC00_MXX_CALC (for payroll calculation) and PC00_MXX_CEDT (for payroll results).
  Testing: If changes are made to the configuration or selection criteria, conduct a test payroll run to ensure that the issue is resolved before proceeding with the actual payroll processing.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with an SAP HCM expert or your organization's SAP support team for further assistance.
