• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message HRPAYSE_MTS_CE013 - &&1: Validation check: if col. 032 exists, col. 274 must not exist ?

  The SAP error message HRPAYSE_MTS_CE013 indicates a validation issue in the payroll processing, specifically related to the fields in the payroll results. The message states that if column 032 exists, then column 274 must not exist. This typically pertains to the configuration of payroll results in the SAP system, particularly in the context of the payroll schema and the infotypes involved.
  Cause:
  
  Data Configuration Issue: The error arises when there is a conflict in the payroll results configuration. Column 032 and column 274 are likely related to specific payroll components or infotypes that should not coexist in the same payroll result.
  Incorrect Payroll Schema: The payroll schema may not be correctly configured to handle the conditions under which these columns are populated.
  Infotype Data: There may be issues with the infotype data that is being processed, leading to the inclusion of both columns in the payroll results.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Payroll Schema: Check the payroll schema configuration to ensure that the logic governing the inclusion of columns 032 and 274 is correct. You may need to adjust the schema to prevent both columns from being populated simultaneously.
  Check Infotype Data: Review the infotype data for the employees in question. Ensure that the data being processed does not lead to the inclusion of both columns. This may involve checking the relevant infotypes and their configurations.
  Adjust Validation Rules: If necessary, modify the validation rules in the payroll schema to ensure that the conditions for including these columns are mutually exclusive.
  Testing: After making changes, run a test payroll to ensure that the error does not occur and that the payroll results are as expected.
