This error indicates that there is a requirement to run a non-primary payroll run before proceeding with the primary payroll run for a specific period.

  A non-primary payroll run (such as a simulation or a preliminary run) has not been executed for the specified period before attempting to run the primary payroll.

  Identify the Non-Primary Payroll Run: Determine which non-primary payroll run is required. This could be a simulation run or a preliminary payroll run.
  
  
  Run the Non-Primary Payroll:
  
  Navigate to the payroll processing transaction in SAP (e.g., PC00_MXX_CALC or similar).
  Select the appropriate non-primary payroll run for the specified period (month/year).
  Execute the non-primary payroll run and ensure that it completes successfully without errors.
  
  
  
  Check Results: After running the non-primary payroll, review the results to ensure that all necessary calculations and validations have been performed.
  
  
  Run the Primary Payroll: Once the non-primary payroll run is completed successfully, you can proceed to run the primary payroll for the same period.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes for payroll processing, such as:
  
  PC00_MXX_CALC (for payroll calculation)
  PC00_MXX_CEDT (for payroll results)
  
  
  
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help files for detailed instructions on payroll processing and the specific requirements for non-primary and primary payroll runs.
