• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 3F356 - Indirectly valuated WTypes not allowed with foreign currency in IT0008 ?

  The SAP error message 3F356 indicates that there is an issue with the configuration of wage types in the infotype IT0008 (Basic Pay) when dealing with foreign currency. Specifically, the error states that indirectly valuated wage types are not allowed when foreign currency is involved.
  Cause:
  The error typically arises due to the following reasons:
  
  Indirect Valuation: The wage type in question is set up for indirect valuation, which means its value is derived from other wage types or calculations rather than being directly entered.
  Foreign Currency: The employee's pay is being processed in a foreign currency, which is not compatible with the indirect valuation of the wage type.
  Configuration Settings: The configuration settings for the wage type may not allow for indirect valuation when foreign currency is used.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Wage Type Configuration:
  
  Go to the transaction code SM30 or SM31 and check the configuration for the wage type in question (usually found in the table T512W).
  Ensure that the wage type is not set for indirect valuation if it is going to be used in a foreign currency context.
  
  
  
  Modify the Wage Type:
  
  If the wage type needs to be used in foreign currency, consider changing its configuration to allow for direct valuation.
  Alternatively, if indirect valuation is necessary, ensure that it is not used in scenarios involving foreign currency.
  
  
  
  Review Infotype Data:
  
  Check the data entered in IT0008 for the employee. Ensure that the wage type is correctly entered and that the currency settings are appropriate.
  Make sure that the currency type is consistent with the wage type configuration.
  
  
  
  Consult with Payroll Specialist:
  
  If you are unsure about the implications of changing wage type configurations, consult with a payroll specialist or an SAP HR consultant who can provide guidance based on your organization's specific requirements.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, perform testing to ensure that the error no longer occurs and that payroll calculations are accurate.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
