• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message HRPAYNLLA165 - Test Mode: No Change in Status ?

  The SAP error message HRPAYNLLA165, which states "Test Mode: No Change in Status," typically occurs in the context of payroll processing within the SAP Human Capital Management (HCM) module. This message indicates that the payroll run is being executed in test mode, and as a result, no actual changes to employee status or payroll results will be made.
  Cause:
  
  Test Mode Activation: The payroll run is set to execute in test mode. This is often done to validate the payroll calculations without affecting the actual payroll data.
  Configuration Settings: The payroll processing configuration may be set to run in test mode by default, or the user may have selected test mode intentionally.
  User Authorization: The user executing the payroll run may not have the necessary authorizations to run the payroll in live mode.
  
  Solution:
  
  Switch to Live Mode: If you intend to perform an actual payroll run, ensure that you switch from test mode to live mode. This can typically be done in the payroll processing transaction by changing the relevant settings.
  Check Configuration: Review the payroll configuration settings to ensure that the system is not defaulting to test mode. This may involve checking the payroll schema or the specific payroll driver settings.
  User Authorization: Verify that the user has the appropriate authorizations to execute payroll in live mode. If not, consult with your SAP security administrator to obtain the necessary permissions.
  Run Payroll in Test Mode: If you are indeed looking to run a test, you can proceed with the test mode, but be aware that no changes will be made to the employee records.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as PC00_MXX_CALC (for payroll calculation) and PC00_MXX_CEDT (for payroll results).
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help files for detailed instructions on payroll processing and the implications of running in test mode.
