• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message HRTIM_ABS_REQ100 - Error: Basic Pay infotype not maintained ?

  The SAP error message HRTIM_ABS_REQ100 with the description "Basic Pay infotype not maintained" typically occurs in the context of time management or absence management when the system is trying to process an absence request or related functionality, but it cannot find the necessary basic pay information for the employee.
  Cause:
  The error is usually caused by one of the following reasons:
  
  
  Missing Basic Pay Infotype (0008): The Basic Pay infotype (IT0008) is not maintained for the employee in question. This infotype contains essential information about the employee's salary and pay structure.
  
  
  Incorrect Validity Dates: The validity dates for the Basic Pay infotype may not cover the period for which the absence is being requested. If the infotype is not valid for the requested absence period, the system will not find the necessary data.
  
  
  Employee Status: The employee may be in a status that does not allow for the processing of absences (e.g., inactive, on leave, etc.).
  
  
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues in the time management or payroll modules that prevent the system from accessing the Basic Pay infotype correctly.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Infotype 0008:
  
  Go to the employee's master data (transaction code PA30).
  Check if the Basic Pay infotype (0008) is maintained for the employee.
  If it is missing, you will need to create or update the infotype with the appropriate pay details.
  
  
  
  Verify Validity Dates:
  
  Ensure that the validity dates of the Basic Pay infotype cover the period for which the absence is being requested.
  If necessary, adjust the validity dates to include the required period.
  
  
  
  Review Employee Status:
  
  Check the employee's status to ensure they are active and eligible for absence requests.
  If the employee is on leave or inactive, you may need to address their status before processing the absence.
  
  
  
  Consult Configuration:
  
  If the issue persists, consult with your SAP HR configuration team to ensure that the time management and payroll settings are correctly configured to access the Basic Pay infotype.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, test the absence request again to ensure that the error has been resolved.
