During the evaluation of the limit rule &V2& defined in Customizing
activity <DS:SIMG.OHAKZBP_PY_GARN_0011>Set Up Rules for Limits</>, the
processing of the Limit rule &V1& is called twice, that means the
evaluation cannot be continued due to a recursive processing.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message HRPAYKZ_REPORTING039 - Recursive processing of &1 rule at &2 rule evaluation ?

  The SAP error message HRPAYKZ_REPORTING039 indicates that there is a recursive processing issue with a specific rule in the payroll processing. This typically occurs when a rule is defined in such a way that it calls itself directly or indirectly, leading to an infinite loop during evaluation.
  Cause:
  
  Recursive Rule Definition: The most common cause of this error is that a rule is defined to call itself or another rule that eventually leads back to the original rule.
  Incorrect Rule Logic: The logic within the rules may not be properly structured, causing unintended recursive calls.
  Configuration Issues: There may be issues in the configuration of the payroll schema or rules that lead to this recursive behavior.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Rule Definitions: Check the rule that is causing the error (indicated by &1 in the message) and ensure that it does not call itself or create a loop with other rules.
  Debugging: Use the debugging tools in SAP to trace the execution of the payroll rules and identify where the recursion is occurring.
  Modify Logic: If the rule is intended to call another rule, ensure that the logic is structured to prevent recursion. This may involve adding conditions to limit when a rule can be called.
  Testing: After making changes, thoroughly test the payroll processing to ensure that the error is resolved and that the payroll calculations are correct.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to payroll rule processing for additional guidance on structuring rules correctly.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide guidance on best practices for rule definitions.
  Payroll Schema: Familiarize yourself with the payroll schema and how rules interact within it. Understanding the flow of data and rule execution can help prevent such issues.
  SAP Community: Engage with the SAP Community or forums where other users may have encountered similar issues and can provide insights or solutions.
  
  By addressing the recursive nature of the rule and ensuring proper logic is applied, you should be able to resolve the HRPAYKZ_REPORTING039 error.
