• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message HRPAYNL_EN293 - Test Run: No automatic update of infotype 0059 while Test Run is on ?

  The SAP error message HRPAYNL_EN293 indicates that during a test run of a payroll process, the system is unable to automatically update infotype 0059 (which is related to the Dutch payroll for wage types) because the test run mode is active. This is a common scenario in SAP HR payroll processing when you are running simulations or test runs to validate payroll calculations without making any actual changes to the database.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is that the payroll process is being executed in test mode. In test mode, the system is designed to simulate the payroll run without making any updates to the database, which includes not updating infotypes like 0059. This is a safety feature to ensure that no unintended changes are made during testing.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you have a couple of options:
  
  
  Run in Production Mode: If you are ready to execute the payroll process and want to update infotype 0059, you should run the payroll in production mode instead of test mode. This will allow the system to update the infotype as required.
  
  
  Review Test Run Settings: If you need to keep the test run for validation purposes, you can review the payroll results without expecting updates to infotype 0059. Ensure that you are aware that no changes will be made during this test run.
  
  
  Check Configuration: If you believe that the infotype should be updated even in test mode (which is not standard behavior), you may need to check the configuration settings in your SAP system. However, this is generally not recommended as it could lead to inconsistencies in payroll processing.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Infotype 0059: This infotype is used for the Dutch payroll and is related to wage types. It is important for calculating various payroll components.
  Test Run vs. Production Run: Understanding the difference between test runs and production runs is crucial in SAP HR. Test runs are for validation and do not affect the database, while production runs are actual payroll processing that updates employee records.
  SAP Notes and Documentation: If you encounter persistent issues or need more detailed guidance, consider checking SAP Notes or the official SAP Help documentation related to payroll processing and infotype management.
  
  In summary, the error HRPAYNL_EN293 is a standard behavior in SAP when running payroll in test mode, and the solution involves either switching to production mode or understanding the limitations of the test run.
