• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PYC_CONT105 - Payroll run for Matchcode W started ?

  The SAP error message PYC_CONT105 indicates that a payroll run for a specific matchcode (W) has already been started. This typically occurs in the context of payroll processing when a payroll run is initiated for an employee or a group of employees, but the system detects that a payroll run is already in progress for the same matchcode.
  Cause:
  
  Concurrent Payroll Runs: The most common cause is that a payroll run for the same period and matchcode is already in progress or has not been completed.
  System Lock: The payroll process may be locked due to a previous run that has not been finalized or has encountered an error.
  Incorrect Configuration: There may be configuration issues in the payroll settings that allow multiple runs to be initiated incorrectly.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Payroll Status: Verify if there is an ongoing payroll run for the same matchcode. You can do this by checking the payroll logs or using transaction codes like PC00_MXX_CALC or PC00_MXX_CEDT (where MXX is your country-specific payroll).
  Complete or Terminate Existing Run: If a payroll run is indeed in progress, you may need to wait for it to complete. If it is stuck or has failed, you may need to terminate it or resolve any issues preventing its completion.
  Review Logs: Check the payroll logs for any errors or warnings that might indicate why the payroll run is not completing.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or your organization's SAP support team for specific guidance related to your configuration and setup.
  System Lock Release: If the payroll run is locked due to a previous error, you may need to release the lock. This can sometimes be done through transaction SM12 (to check for locks) and SM21 (to check system logs).
