  The SAP error message HRPAYUS_CE013 indicates that a specific HR form (identified by &1) is not active, which in turn makes the associated executable program (identified by &2) unusable. This error typically arises in the context of HR (Human Resources) processes, particularly when dealing with forms and payroll processing.
  Cause:
  
  Inactive HR Form: The primary cause of this error is that the HR form you are trying to use has not been activated in the system. This could be due to the form not being configured properly or not being set to active status in the system.
  Configuration Issues: There may be issues in the configuration settings related to the HR forms or payroll processing.
  Transport Issues: If the form was recently transported from another system, it may not have been activated in the target system.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Activate the HR Form:
  
  Go to the transaction code PE51 (for HR form maintenance).
  Check if the form identified by &1 is listed and ensure it is active. If it is not, activate it.
  If you do not have access to this transaction, contact your SAP HR administrator or someone with the necessary permissions to activate the form.
  
  
  
  Check Configuration:
  
  Review the configuration settings for the HR forms and payroll processing to ensure everything is set up correctly.
  Ensure that all necessary components and dependencies for the form are also active.
  
  
  
  Transport Management:
  
  If the form was recently transported, ensure that the transport was successful and that all necessary objects were included in the transport request.
  Check the transport logs for any errors or warnings that might indicate issues during the transport process.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After activating the form, test the functionality again to ensure that the error is resolved.
