3614704 - Payroll area change not possible due to irregular payroll run on xx.xx.xxxx. - RP240

While running employee master data replication, the following error raises: 
"Payroll area change not possible due to irregular payroll run on xx.xx.xxxx."

• SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central Payroll
• Employee Master data replication

The error raises while trying to change the payroll area of the employee while the old one is still valid. This is not allowed and will raise the error. 

The way to stop this error from occurring would be to ensure that the payroll area change is performed at a later date. It will be needed to change the payroll area back to the previously valid one, and create a new record on a date after the irregular payroll run; for example at the split of the upcoming period.
