  The SAP error message HRPAYNL_EN253 indicates that there is an issue with the remuneration hours in the payroll processing for the Netherlands. Specifically, this error occurs when the income code used in the payroll run is not one of the specified codes (11, 13, 15, 17, or 33), and yet there are remunerated hours recorded.
  Cause:
  The error arises due to the following reasons:
  
  Income Code Mismatch: The income code being processed does not allow for remunerated hours to be greater than zero. The specified income codes (11, 13, 15, 17, or 33) are exceptions where remunerated hours can be recorded.

  Configuration Issues: The payroll configuration may not be set up correctly to handle the specific income codes and their associated rules.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Income Code: Verify the income code being used in the payroll run. If it is not one of the allowed codes (11, 13, 15, 17, or 33), you need to either change the income code to one of these or ensure that the remunerated hours are set to zero.
  
  
  Adjust Remunerated Hours: If the income code is correct but the remunerated hours are incorrectly populated, you should adjust the remunerated hours to zero for the relevant entries.
  
  
  Review Payroll Configuration: Ensure that the payroll configuration is set up correctly for the income codes and their associated rules. This may involve checking the payroll schema and rules in the SAP system.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidelines on handling income codes and remuneration hours in the payroll module.
