• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message HRPBSDERECL015 - The Basic Pay data record contains too many wage types ?

  The SAP error message HRPBSDERECL015 indicates that the Basic Pay data record contains too many wage types. This error typically occurs in the context of payroll processing or when maintaining employee master data in the Human Resources (HR) module of SAP.
  Cause:
  The error is triggered when the number of wage types assigned to an employee's Basic Pay record exceeds the system's predefined limit. Each employee can have multiple wage types for various reasons, such as different salary components, bonuses, allowances, etc. However, there is a maximum limit set in the system configuration, and exceeding this limit results in the error.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Review Wage Types: Check the wage types assigned to the employee's Basic Pay record. You can do this by navigating to the employee's master data in the SAP HR module.
  
  
  Remove Unnecessary Wage Types: If there are wage types that are not needed or are duplicates, consider removing them to bring the total number of wage types within the allowed limit.
  
  
  Check Configuration: If you believe that the number of wage types is justified and should be allowed, you may need to check the configuration settings in the SAP system. This may involve:
  
  Consulting with your SAP HR functional consultant or system administrator.
  Reviewing the configuration in the IMG (Implementation Guide) under Payroll settings to see if the limit can be adjusted.
  
  
  
  Use Infotypes: Ensure that you are using the correct infotypes for different types of compensation. For example, if you have allowances or bonuses, they might need to be recorded in separate infotypes rather than all being included in Basic Pay.
  
  
  Testing: After making changes, test the payroll run or the employee master data maintenance to ensure that the error is resolved.
