• Message text: Combination of personnel area &1 and personnel subarea &2 is invalid

What causes this issue?

The employee's payroll result or master data includes a combination of
personnel area &v1& and personnel subarea &v2&. The system tried to use
table T001P to determine the country grouping for this combination, but
is unable to find the combination.

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

<ZH>Note</>
When you effect a wage and salary payment, the system determines the
combination of personnel area and personnel subarea using the last
record of table WPBP <LS>(Work Center/Basic Pay)</> in the employee's
payroll result. If you effect an advance payment from master data, the
system determines the combination of personnel area and personnel
subarea using the employee's infotype 0001 <LS>Organizational
Assignment</>.

How to fix this error?

This error can occur in two situations:
The combination of personnel area and personnel subarea is incorrect.
If the error occurs when a wage and salary payment is effected, you
must correct the affected employees' master data and payroll results.
If the error occurs when an advance payment from master data is
effected, you only need to correct the affected employees' master data.
Customizing lacks settings for personnel area &v1& and personnel
subarea &v2& (table T001P). If this is the case, you must enter the
settings required in Customizing.
