• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message HRPSGB_HER308 - If 1st Source Code is '01' than proprtion of Basic Pay must be 100.00 ?

  The SAP error message HRPSGB_HER308 indicates an issue related to the configuration of the payroll or compensation structure in the SAP HR module, specifically when dealing with source codes for basic pay. The error message states that if the first source code is '01', then the proportion of the basic pay must be 100.00. 
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Configuration: The error typically arises when the payroll configuration for an employee's remuneration is not set up correctly. The first source code '01' usually represents the basic pay, and it is expected that the total proportion of basic pay should equal 100%.
  Multiple Pay Components: If there are multiple components of pay being defined, and the sum of the proportions does not equal 100% when the first source code is '01', this error will be triggered.
  Data Entry Error: There may be a data entry error where the proportions for the pay components have been incorrectly entered.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Payroll Configuration: Review the payroll configuration settings for the employee in question. Ensure that the first source code is indeed '01' and that the proportion of basic pay is set to 100.00.
  Adjust Proportions: If there are multiple components of pay, ensure that the proportions add up to 100% with the first source code being '01'. If there are other components, adjust their proportions accordingly.
  Review Employee Master Data: Check the employee's master data to ensure that the pay components are correctly defined and that there are no discrepancies in the entries.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or consult with your SAP HR module expert to understand the specific configuration settings related to payroll and source codes.
  Testing: After making adjustments, run a test payroll to ensure that the error does not reoccur.
