How To Fix 3G076 - The symb. account for wage type &2 (PCG &1) is inconsistent

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: 3G - Payroll: International

• Message number: 076

• Message text: The symb. account for wage type &2 (PCG &1) is inconsistent

What causes this issue?

During the conversion of the Customizing steps for the transfer of data
to FI/CO for wage type &V2& (country grouping &V1&), the system has
established that the symbolic account 6V3& entered here has a different
account aassignment type than the wage type.

How to fix this error?

As of Release 4.0A it is no longer possible to post data to a symbolic
account with different account assignment types.
When converting these Customizing steps, the account assignment type
for a symbolic account is determined by the account assignment type for
the first converted wage type. Up until now, your system has posted
data to the symbolic account &V3& using different account assignment
types. Please check the account assignment types for symbolic account
&V3& and the wage types to be posted to this account before the live
start of the system.
If you really want to post data to this symbolic account with different
account assignment types, you must set up a symbolic account for each
account assignment type and assign these accounts to the same FI
account.
