How To Fix 3G167 - Deleting the runs occurs via update

3G167 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: 3G - Payroll: International

• Message number: 167

• Message text: Deleting the runs occurs via update

What causes this issue?

The runs selected are deleted by the update. This can cause a delay in
deleting the data used for setting "deleted" status.
This means that, particularly in the case of deleting live posting
runs, the employee can, under circumstances, still be selected for a
while, even if the run's status is already "deleted".

How to fix this error?

Wait until the update records have been processed before creating new
live runs.

Procedure for System Administrators

Make sure that no interrupted update records are included in the update
for transaction PCPO.
