  The SAP error message P05FBN804 indicates that there are persons (employees) without wage types for the specified subtype FBNL (which typically refers to a specific type of wage or payment in the payroll module). This error usually arises during payroll processing when the system expects to find wage types associated with the employees but does not.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Wage Types: The primary cause of this error is that the employees in question do not have any wage types assigned for the specified subtype (FBNL). This could be due to incorrect or incomplete master data setup.
  Incorrect Configuration: There may be issues with the configuration of wage types in the payroll schema or the absence of necessary wage types in the employee's infotype records.
  Data Entry Errors: Errors during data entry or updates to employee records can lead to missing wage types.
  Employee Status: The employee might be in a status that does not allow for wage types to be assigned (e.g., inactive or terminated).
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Employee Master Data: 
  
  Go to the employee's master data (Infotype 0008 - Basic Pay) and verify if the wage types for subtype FBNL are correctly assigned.

  Review Configuration:

  Update Missing Wage Types:
  
  If wage types are missing, you may need to add them manually in the employee's master data or adjust the payroll configuration to ensure that the correct wage types are generated.
  
  
  
  Run Payroll Simulation:
  
  After making the necessary adjustments, run a payroll simulation to check if the error persists. This can help identify if there are still issues with other employees or configurations.
