• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PF065 - No check log created ?

  The SAP error message PF065 "No check log created" typically occurs during the execution of payroll processes, particularly when the system is unable to generate a check log for the payroll run. This can happen for various reasons, and understanding the cause is essential for resolving the issue.
  Causes:
  
  
  No Payroll Results: The most common reason for this error is that there are no payroll results available for the specified period. If the payroll has not been processed or if there are no employees with payroll results, the system cannot create a check log.
  
  
  Incorrect Configuration: There may be issues with the configuration of the payroll schema or the payroll driver. If the payroll process is not set up correctly, it may not generate the necessary logs.
  
  
  Authorization Issues: Sometimes, the user executing the payroll run may not have the necessary authorizations to create or view the check log.
  
  
  Technical Issues: There could be underlying technical issues, such as database problems or system errors, that prevent the creation of the log.
  
  
  Missing Data: If there are missing or incorrect data entries in the employee master data or payroll infotypes, it can lead to issues in generating the payroll results and logs.
  
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Payroll Results: Verify that payroll has been processed for the relevant period and that there are valid payroll results. You can do this by checking the payroll results in transaction code PC_PAYRESULT.
  
  
  Review Configuration: Ensure that the payroll schema and driver are correctly configured. Check the settings in transaction code PE01 (for schema) and PE02 (for driver).
  
  
  User Authorizations: Confirm that the user has the necessary authorizations to execute payroll and view logs. You can check this in transaction code SU53 or by consulting with your security team.
  
  
  Check for Errors: Look for any error messages or warnings in the payroll log that might indicate issues with the payroll run. You can access the payroll log using transaction code PC00_MXX_CALC (where MXX is your country-specific payroll).
  
  
  Data Integrity: Review employee master data and payroll infotypes for completeness and accuracy. Ensure that all required fields are filled out correctly.
  
  
  Technical Support: If the issue persists, consider reaching out to your SAP Basis or technical support team to investigate any underlying system or database issues.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as PC00_MXX_CALC (for payroll processing), PC_PAYRESULT (for viewing payroll results), and PE01/PE02 (for schema and driver configuration).
