  The SAP error message PG474 indicates that the employee you are trying to process is no longer active in the company as of a specific date. This typically occurs when you attempt to perform actions related to an employee who has been terminated or whose employment has ended.

  Employee Termination: The employee has been officially terminated in the system, and their employment status is set to inactive.

  Correct Actions: If you are trying to perform an action that is not valid for inactive employees (like processing payroll), you will need to ensure that you are only working with active employees.
