  The SAP error message HRPAYSE_MTS_CE006 typically relates to issues in the payroll processing within the SAP Human Capital Management (HCM) module. This specific error indicates a validation check failure, where the system is enforcing a rule that if a certain column (in this case, column 134) exists in the payroll results, then the preceding column (column 133) must also exist.
  Cause:
  The error is usually caused by one of the following:
  
  Missing Data: Column 133 is expected to contain data, but it is missing while column 134 has data.
  Configuration Issues: There may be a configuration issue in the payroll schema or the infotype settings that leads to this inconsistency.
  Incorrect Payroll Results: The payroll results may have been incorrectly generated or modified, leading to a mismatch in the expected data structure.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Payroll Results:
  
  Review the payroll results for the employee in question. Ensure that both columns 133 and 134 are populated correctly.
  Use transaction code PC00_MXX_CALC (where MXX is your country-specific payroll) to analyze the payroll results.
  
  
  
  Review Schema Configuration:
  
  Check the payroll schema configuration to ensure that the rules governing the population of these columns are correctly defined.
  Use transaction code PE01 to access and review the payroll schema.
  
  
  
  Infotype Data:
  
  Verify the infotype data related to the employee. Ensure that all necessary infotypes are correctly maintained and that there are no missing entries that could affect payroll processing.
  
  
  
  Run Payroll Simulation:
  
  If necessary, run a payroll simulation to see if the error persists. This can help identify if the issue is with the current payroll run or a more systemic issue.
