  The SAP error message HRPAYNL_EN061 indicates that there is an issue with accessing a specific file due to permission restrictions on the file system. This error typically occurs in the context of payroll processing or data handling in the SAP HR module, particularly in the Netherlands (as suggested by the "NL" in the error code).

  File Path Issues: The specified file path may be incorrect or the file may not exist.

  Solution:
  To resolve the HRPAYNL_EN061 error, you can take the following steps:
