What causes this issue?

Within the New General Ledger, a liability wage type is to be

country-specific assignment indicators is to be checked for the
distribution. This requires the assignment indicator for all entries of
the distribution basis to be set - see the
<DS:DE.HRPP_CONS_CNTR1>Consideration of First Country-Specific
Assignment ID Switch</> field of table T52LIDI.

System Response

The payroll run terminates the processing in the

Liabilities According to Expenses</> function.

How to fix this error?

Ensure that one of the three country-specific assignment indicators is
set for all entries of a distribution basis that require this indicator
for distribution purposes. If this is not possible, the corresponding
field in table T52LIDI must not be set.
