• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message HRPAYNLLA_EN259 - IT &1 does not exist in (part of the) return period &2 - &3 ?

  The SAP error message HRPAYNLLA_EN259 indicates that there is an issue related to a specific IT (Infotype) not existing for a given return period. This error typically arises in the context of payroll processing, where the system is trying to access data that is expected to be present for a specific time frame but is not found.
  Cause:
  
  
  Missing Infotype Data: The specified Infotype (IT) does not have any records for the employee in the defined return period. This could be due to various reasons, such as:
  
  The Infotype was not maintained for the employee.
  The data was deleted or not created for the specified period.
  The employee was not active during that period.
  
  
  
  Incorrect Period Definition: The return period specified in the error message may not align with the periods for which the Infotype data is available.
  
  
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues in the payroll settings that prevent the system from accessing the required data.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Infotype Records: 
  
  Use transaction code PA20 (Display HR Master Data) to check if the Infotype exists for the employee in the specified period.

  Verify Return Period:

  Review Payroll Configuration:

  Consult with your SAP HR configuration team if you suspect there are issues with the payroll schema or rules.
  
  
  
  Run Consistency Checks:

  Consult Documentation: 
  
  Review SAP documentation or notes related to the specific Infotype and payroll processing for additional guidance.
