  The SAP error message HRPBSAE157, which states "Wage Type &1 Not Found in Payroll Result," typically occurs during the payroll processing in the SAP Human Capital Management (HCM) module. This error indicates that a specific wage type, which is expected to be present in the payroll results, is missing. Here’s a breakdown of the cause, potential solutions, and related information:
  Cause:
  
  
  Missing Wage Type Configuration: The wage type may not be configured correctly in the system. This could be due to it not being defined in the relevant payroll schema or not being included in the payroll results for the specific employee.
  
  
  Incorrect Payroll Processing: The payroll run may not have been executed correctly, leading to missing wage types in the results.
  
  
  Data Entry Errors: There may be errors in the employee master data or infotypes that prevent the wage type from being generated.
  
  
  Wage Type Not Assigned: The wage type might not be assigned to the employee's payroll area or personnel area.
  
  
  Custom Logic: If there are custom enhancements or modifications in the payroll process, they might inadvertently exclude certain wage types.
  
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Wage Type Configuration:
  
  Go to the transaction code PE01 to check the configuration of the wage type in the relevant payroll schema.
  Ensure that the wage type is defined and included in the payroll results.
  
  
  
  Review Payroll Results:
  
  Use transaction code PC_PAYRESULT to review the payroll results for the employee in question. Check if the wage type is missing and investigate why.
  
  
  
  Verify Employee Master Data:
  
  Check the employee's infotypes (especially IT0008 for basic pay and IT0014 for recurring payments) to ensure that the wage type is correctly assigned.
  
  
  
  Run Payroll Simulation:
  
  Perform a payroll simulation using transaction code PC00_M99_CWTR to see if the wage type appears in the simulation results. This can help identify if the issue is with the payroll run itself.
  
  
  
  Check for Custom Enhancements:
  
  If there are any custom enhancements or modifications in the payroll process, review them to ensure they are not affecting the generation of the wage type.
  
  
  
  Consult SAP Notes:
  
  Check the SAP Support Portal for any relevant SAP Notes that might address this specific error or provide additional guidance.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
