  • What causes this issue?

    When processing the data for the employee, line items have been created
    for the symbolic account &V1&, which has the account assignment type FO
    (posting to original periods only). Wage types that have been
    recalculated in a retroactive run have also been posted to this
    account. This is not permitted.

    How to fix this error?

    In Customizing, please check that wage types can only be posted to
    symbolic accounts with the account assignment type FO if they do not
    change retroactively.
    The account assignment type FO is intended primarily for symbolic
    accounts to which wage types evaluated in the 'Pre.Program DME' are
    posted.
    If you have no cross-company code transactions, you can also replace
    the account assignment type FO by F.
