  The SAP error message "HRPBSDEVAVG084 Prevention amount 0 will be used" typically occurs in the context of payroll processing, particularly when dealing with the calculation of average amounts for certain benefits or deductions. This message indicates that the system has determined that the prevention amount (which could refer to a specific deduction or benefit amount) is zero, and therefore, it will use this value in the calculations.
  Cause:

This could include missing entries in infotypes related to payroll, such as infotype 0015 (Additional Payments) or infotype 0014 (Recurring Payments/Deductions).
  
  
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues in the payroll schema or the specific calculation rules that determine how the prevention amount is calculated.
  
  
  Employee Status: The employee may not be eligible for certain benefits or deductions, leading to a prevention amount of zero.
  
  
  Time Period: The error may also occur if the payroll period being processed does not have any relevant data for the employee.
