How To Fix 3F219 - The validity of the adjustment does not match the employment period

3F219 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: 3F - Compensation Management

• Message number: 219

• Message text: The validity of the adjustment does not match the employment period

What causes this issue?

The employee already left the company during the plan period, or only
began his period of employment during the plan period. However, the
system already has record of a compensation adjustment (not activated)
for adjustment type &V1& for the employee. The period of validity (&V2&
-&V3&) does not match the employee's period of employment in the plan
period.

System Response

You can still edit the compensation adjustment.

How to fix this error?

You can do the following:
Check that the effective date of the adjustment falls outside of the
period of employment, and if so, change as necessary.
Delete the compensation adjustment and create a new one. The validity
of the new compensation adjustment will then match the employee's
period of employment, and the effective date will fall within the
period of employment too.
