• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message HRPAYSE_MTS009 - Validation check: if col. 136 exists, col. 132 or col. 133 must exist ?

  The SAP error message HRPAYSE_MTS009 typically occurs in the context of payroll processing, particularly when dealing with the infotype records in the SAP HR module. This error indicates that there is a validation check failing due to the presence or absence of specific columns in the payroll data.
  Cause:
  The error message states that if column 136 exists, then either column 132 or column 133 must also exist. This is a validation rule that ensures data integrity and consistency in payroll processing. The specific columns usually correspond to certain fields in the payroll schema or infotype records that are required for the calculations or reporting.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you should take the following steps:
  
  
  Check the Payroll Data: Review the payroll data being processed to see if column 136 is present. If it is, ensure that either column 132 or column 133 is also populated.
  
  
  Review the Schema: If you have access to the payroll schema, check the configuration to understand the relationships and dependencies between these columns. This may involve looking at the specific payroll processing rules defined in your system.
  
  
  Data Correction: If you find that the required columns (132 or 133) are missing when column 136 is present, you will need to correct the data. This may involve updating the infotype records or payroll results to include the necessary information.
  
  
  Testing: After making the necessary corrections, re-run the payroll process to ensure that the error does not occur again.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about the specific columns and their meanings, refer to the SAP documentation or consult with your SAP HR functional consultant for clarification.
  
  
  Debugging: If the issue persists, you may need to debug the payroll process to identify why the validation is failing. This may require technical expertise in SAP ABAP.
