  The SAP error message RP091 ("You have not entered wage types") typically occurs during payroll processing when the system expects wage types to be specified but finds none. This can happen in various scenarios, such as when running payroll for an employee or processing a payroll-related report.
  Causes:
  
  Missing Wage Types: The employee's master data may not have any wage types assigned, or the wage types may not be correctly configured in the payroll schema.
  Incorrect Payroll Configuration: The payroll configuration may not be set up to include the necessary wage types for the specific payroll run.
  Data Entry Errors: There may have been an oversight in entering wage types during the payroll data entry process.
  Employee Status: The employee may not be in an active status or may not have been assigned to a payroll area that has valid wage types.
  Time Evaluation Issues: If time evaluation is not processed correctly, it may not generate the necessary wage types for payroll.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check Employee Master Data: Verify that the employee's master data includes the necessary wage types. You can do this by checking the infotype 0008 (Basic Pay) and ensuring that the wage types are correctly assigned.
  Review Payroll Configuration: Ensure that the payroll schema is configured to include the required wage types. This may involve checking the payroll driver and the associated wage type configuration.

  Run Time Evaluation: If applicable, ensure that time evaluation has been run successfully before processing payroll. This can help generate the necessary wage types based on the employee's time data.
  Check Employee Status: Ensure that the employee is active and assigned to the correct payroll area. If the employee is on leave or inactive, this may affect wage type assignment.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on the payroll process and wage type configuration.
