SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: 3G - Payroll: International

• Message number: 177

• Message text: Posting run PP&1 contains no posting documents; Read the long text

What causes this issue?

When creating the posting run, the system evaluated retroactive
accounting runs for payroll results that were evaluated for the posting
run &v1& . However, posting run &v1& does not contain any payroll
documents. This can have several causes:
The payroll results that the system has evaluated for posting run &v1&
correctly do not contain any wage types to be posted.
The payroll results that the system has evaluated for posting run &v1&
are incorrect.
The specification of the posting characteristics for wage types is
incorrect.
As the system used the index for posting run &v1& when evaluating the
retroactive accounting runs, you can no longer delete, reverse or
repeat this posting run without deleting the current posting run.
