  The SAP error message HRPBSDERECL036, which states "It was not possible to determine the date of pay scale level start," typically occurs in the context of payroll processing or when trying to determine the pay scale level for an employee. This error can arise due to several reasons related to the configuration of pay scale data or employee master data.
  Causes:
  
  
  Missing Pay Scale Data: The pay scale data for the employee may not be maintained correctly in the system. This includes missing entries for the employee's pay scale group or level.
  
  
  Incorrect Validity Dates: The validity dates for the pay scale level may not be set correctly. If the date range for the pay scale level does not cover the date being processed, the system will not be able to determine the start date.
  
  
  Employee Master Data Issues: The employee's master data may not be complete or may have inconsistencies, such as missing infotypes related to pay scale or organizational assignment.
  
  
  Configuration Issues: There may be issues in the configuration of the pay scale structure in the system, such as missing or incorrect entries in the relevant tables.
  
  
  Collective Agreement Changes: If there have been recent changes to collective agreements or pay scale structures, the system may not have been updated accordingly.
  
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Pay Scale Data: Verify that the pay scale data for the employee is correctly maintained. This includes checking the employee's pay scale group and level in the infotype 0008 (Basic Pay).
  
  
  Review Validity Dates: Ensure that the validity dates for the pay scale level are correctly set and that they encompass the date for which the payroll is being processed.
  
  
  Update Employee Master Data: Check the employee's master data for completeness. Ensure that all relevant infotypes (such as 0001, 0008, etc.) are filled out correctly.
  
  
  Configuration Review: Review the configuration of the pay scale structure in the system. Ensure that all necessary entries are present and correct in the relevant tables (e.g., T510, T511).
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If there have been recent changes to collective agreements or pay scales, consult the relevant documentation to ensure that the system reflects these changes.
  
  
  Testing: After making any changes, perform a test run of the payroll to see if the error persists.
