• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PLA608 - Infotype &1 is not simulated ?

  The SAP error message PLA608 "Infotype &1 is not simulated" typically occurs in the context of personnel administration or payroll processing when the system is unable to simulate the processing of a specific infotype (in this case, represented by &1). This can happen for various reasons, and understanding the cause and finding a solution involves a few steps.
  Causes:
  
  
  Infotype Not Maintained: The infotype specified in the error message may not be maintained for the employee in question. If the infotype is not present in the employee's data, the system cannot simulate it.
  
  
  Incorrect Configuration: There may be issues with the configuration of the infotype in the system. This could include missing settings or incorrect relationships between infotypes.
  
  
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to access or simulate the specified infotype.
  
  
  Technical Issues: There could be underlying technical issues, such as problems with the database or inconsistencies in the data.
  
  
  Simulation Mode: The system may not be set up to allow simulation for the specific infotype, or the simulation mode may not be correctly configured.
  
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Infotype Maintenance: Verify that the infotype is correctly maintained for the employee. You can do this by accessing the employee's data in the relevant transaction (e.g., PA20 or PA30) and checking if the infotype exists.
  
  
  Review Configuration: Check the configuration settings for the infotype in the SAP system. Ensure that all necessary settings are in place and that the infotype is correctly linked to the relevant processes.
  
  
  Authorization Check: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access and simulate the infotype. This can be checked in the user roles and authorizations.
  
  
  Consult Technical Support: If the issue persists, it may be necessary to consult with your SAP technical support team to investigate any underlying technical issues or inconsistencies in the data.
  
  
  Simulation Settings: Review the simulation settings in the payroll or personnel administration configuration to ensure that the infotype is allowed to be simulated.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as PA20 (Display HR Master Data), PA30 (Maintain HR Master Data), and PC00_MXX_CALC (Payroll Simulation).
