  The SAP error message HRPAYSE_MTS008 typically relates to issues in the payroll processing within the SAP HR module, specifically concerning the validation of certain fields in the payroll results. This error indicates that there is a validation check that requires specific conditions to be met regarding the existence of certain columns (fields) in the payroll results.
  Cause:
  The error message HRPAYSE_MTS008 is triggered when:
  
  Column 222 (which may represent a specific payroll result or infotype) exists, but
  Column 215 (which may represent another payroll result or infotype) does not exist.
  As a result, the system expects that columns 218, 219, and 220 should be filled with appropriate values.
  
  This situation often arises due to:
  
  Incorrect or incomplete payroll configuration.
  Missing or incorrect data entries in the relevant infotypes or payroll results.
  Issues with the payroll schema or rules that govern how these fields are populated.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Payroll Configuration:
  
  Review the payroll schema and rules to ensure that they are correctly configured to handle the conditions for columns 215, 222, 218, 219, and 220.
  Ensure that the logic in the payroll schema is correctly implemented to populate these fields based on the required conditions.
  
  
  
  Data Validation:
  
  Verify the data in the relevant infotypes (e.g., IT0000, IT0001, etc.) to ensure that all necessary information is present and correctly entered.
  Check if there are any missing entries that should populate column 215.
  
  
  
  Review Payroll Results:
  
  Use transaction codes like PC_PAYRESULT or PE03 to analyze the payroll results for the employee in question.
  Look for discrepancies in the payroll results that may lead to the error.
  
  
  
  Adjust Payroll Processing:
  
  If necessary, run the payroll process again after making the required adjustments to the configuration or data.
  Ensure that the payroll run is executed in the correct sequence and that all prerequisite steps are completed.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to the specific payroll schema you are using, as there may be specific guidelines or updates that address this issue.
  
  
  
  Seek Expert Help:
  
  If the issue persists, consider consulting with an SAP HR expert or your internal SAP support team for further analysis and resolution.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional guidance on the payroll schema and configuration.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with transaction codes like PE01 (for payroll schema), PE02 (for payroll rules), and PC00_MXX_CALC (for payroll calculation) to help troubleshoot and resolve issues.
  Testing: After making changes, always test the payroll run in a development or quality environment before applying changes to the production system.
