• Message text: Combination of employee group &1 and employee subgroup &2 is invalid

What causes this issue?

The employee's payroll result or master data includes the combination

determine additional information for this combination, but could not
find the combination.

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

combination of employee group and employee subgroup using the last
record of table WPBP <LS>(Work Center/Basic Pay)</> in the employee's
payroll result. When 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

How to fix this error?

This error can occur in two situations:
The combination of employee group and employee subgroup is incorrect.
If the error occurs when the 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 the settings required for employee group &v1& and
employee subgroup &v2& (table T001P).
