• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message HRPBSHU084 - The employee isn't a public servant ?

  The SAP error message HRPBSHU084, which states "The employee isn't a public servant," typically occurs in the context of public sector payroll processing in SAP HR (Human Resources) modules. This error indicates that the system is trying to process payroll or other HR-related functions for an employee who is not classified as a public servant, but the operation being performed is intended for public servants.
  Cause:
  
  Employee Classification: The employee in question may not be correctly classified in the system as a public servant. This classification is crucial for certain payroll calculations and benefits that are specific to public sector employees.
  Payroll Area Configuration: The payroll area or the specific payroll run may be configured to only include public servants, leading to this error when non-public servants are processed.
  Master Data Issues: There may be issues with the employee's master data, such as missing or incorrect information in the infotypes that define their employment status.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Employee Master Data:
  
  Go to the employee's master data (transaction PA20 or PA30) and verify the infotypes related to their employment status (e.g., Infotype 0001 - Organizational Assignment, Infotype 0002 - Personal Data).
  Ensure that the employee is classified correctly as a public servant if they should be.
  
  
  
  Review Payroll Area Settings:
  
  Check the configuration of the payroll area to ensure it is set up to include the relevant employee types. This can be done in the SPRO transaction under the payroll settings.
  
  
  
  Adjust Payroll Processing:
  
  If the employee is indeed not a public servant, ensure that the payroll run or processing being attempted is appropriate for their classification. You may need to run a different payroll process that accommodates non-public servants.
  
  
  
  Consult with HR or Payroll Administrator:
  
  If you are unsure about the classification or the necessary changes, consult with your HR or payroll administrator for guidance on how to proceed.
