• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WRPLCHK016 - You have not selected any recipients relevant for the check ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WRPLCHK016 – "You have not selected any recipients relevant for the check"
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when you attempt to perform a payroll check or simulation, but no recipients (employees or personnel numbers) have been selected or specified for the payroll check run. Essentially, the system expects at least one employee or recipient to be included in the payroll check, but none were provided.
  
  When does it occur?
  
  During payroll simulation or payroll check runs (e.g., in transaction PC00_MXX_CALC or similar payroll processing transactions).
  When the selection criteria for employees/recipients are empty or incorrectly defined.
  When the user forgets to specify the personnel numbers or selection parameters for the payroll run.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Select Recipients:
  
  Ensure that you have selected at least one employee or recipient in the selection screen before starting the payroll check.
  Use appropriate selection criteria such as personnel numbers, organizational units, employee groups, or other relevant filters to include employees.
  
  
  
  Check Selection Parameters:
  
  Verify the selection parameters on the payroll check screen.
  Make sure the personnel number range or other selection fields are not empty.
  If using variants, check that the variant includes valid selection criteria.
  
  
  
  Use Correct Transaction:
  
  Use the correct payroll transaction and ensure that the selection screen is properly filled.
  
  
  
  Check Authorization:
  
  Sometimes, authorization restrictions might prevent the user from seeing or selecting employees. Verify user authorizations if the selection appears empty.
  
  
  
  
  Additional Information:
  
  Message Class: WRPLCHK
  Message Number: 016
  This message is a standard SAP message to prevent running payroll checks without any employees, which would be meaningless and could cause errors downstream.
  If you are running a batch job or background payroll run, check the job parameters or variant used for employee selection.
  
  
  Example:
  If you run transaction PC00_MXX_CALC (where XX is country code) and leave the personnel number field blank, you will get this error. Enter a valid personnel number or a range of personnel numbers and try again.
  
  If you continue to face issues, check the SAP Notes related to payroll processing for your country version or consult your SAP HR/Payroll administrator.
