  The SAP error message HRPAYRU_PYD_TEXTS002 indicates that there is an issue with the employee status change in the payroll process. Specifically, it suggests that the employee's status is currently active, and the system is trying to change it from one active status (&1) to another active status (&2), which is not allowed.
  Cause:
  
  Active Status Change: The error typically occurs when an attempt is made to change an employee's status while they are still considered active in the system. For example, if an employee is currently marked as "Active" and there is an attempt to change their status to another "Active" status (like from "Active" to "On Leave"), the system will throw this error.

  Data Entry Errors: Incorrect data entry or misunderstanding of the employee's current status can lead to this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Employee Status: Verify the current status of the employee in the system. Ensure that the status you are trying to change to is appropriate and that the employee is eligible for that status change.
  Change to Inactive Status: If you need to change the employee's status, consider first changing it to an inactive status (like "Terminated" or "On Leave") before making any further changes.
  Review Configuration: Check the configuration settings in the SAP HR module to ensure that the status transitions are set up correctly. This may involve consulting with an SAP HR consultant or administrator.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or support resources for specific guidelines on handling employee status changes.
  Use Transaction Codes: Utilize relevant transaction codes (like PA30 for maintaining HR master data) to review and modify employee records as necessary.
