  The SAP error message RP650, which states "Autom. debit authorization indicator only permitted for main bank details," typically occurs in the context of payroll processing or when dealing with employee bank details in SAP. This error indicates that there is an issue with the configuration of bank details for an employee, specifically regarding the automatic debit authorization indicator.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by the following reasons:
  
  Bank Details Configuration: The automatic debit authorization indicator is set for a bank account that is not marked as the main bank account for the employee. In SAP, only the main bank account can have this indicator activated.
  Multiple Bank Accounts: If an employee has multiple bank accounts, the system expects the automatic debit authorization to be associated only with the primary account.
  Data Entry Error: There may be a data entry error where the wrong bank account is marked as the main account or the automatic debit authorization is incorrectly set.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Employee Bank Details:
  
  Go to the employee's master data (transaction code PA30).
  Navigate to the "Bank Details" infotype (IT0009).
  Ensure that the correct bank account is marked as the main bank account (indicated by a specific checkbox).
  
  
  
  Review Automatic Debit Authorization:
  
  Verify if the automatic debit authorization indicator is set for the correct bank account.
  If it is set for a non-main bank account, remove the indicator from that account.
  
  
  
  Adjust Bank Account Settings:
  
  If necessary, adjust the bank account settings to ensure that the main bank account is correctly configured and that the automatic debit authorization is only applied to it.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP support team for any specific configurations or settings that may need to be adjusted in your system.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, perform a test run of the payroll or the relevant process to ensure that the error does not reoccur.
