  The SAP error message HRPAYUS_MESSAGES101 indicates that a wage type (wagetype) specified in a payroll process or configuration is not found in the relevant wage type table. This error typically occurs in the context of payroll processing in the SAP Human Resources (HR) module, particularly in the United States payroll (US).
  Cause:
  
  
  Missing Wage Type: The specified wage type (&1) does not exist in the wage type table (&2). This could be due to:
  
  The wage type was never created.
  The wage type was deleted or deactivated.
  A typo or incorrect wage type code was used in the payroll configuration or master data.
  
  
  
  Configuration Issues: There may be issues in the payroll configuration where the wage type is expected but not defined properly.
  
  
  Data Migration Issues: If data was migrated from another system or during an upgrade, some wage types may not have been transferred correctly.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Wage Type Configuration:
  
  Go to the transaction code PE01 (Wage Type Maintenance) and check if the wage type exists in the system.
  If it does not exist, you may need to create it or restore it if it was deleted.
  
  
  
  Verify Payroll Configuration:
  
  Review the payroll schema and rules to ensure that the wage type is correctly referenced.
  Check the relevant payroll driver (e.g., RPCALCU0) and ensure that the wage type is included in the calculations.
  
  
  
  Correct Master Data:
  
  If the wage type is used in employee master data (e.g., infotype 0008 for basic pay), ensure that it is correctly entered and corresponds to a valid wage type.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or notes related to wage types and payroll processing to ensure compliance with best practices.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, run a test payroll to ensure that the error is resolved and that the payroll process completes successfully.
