SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: 3G - Payroll: International

• Message text: The "basic pay" expenditure type is not funded.

What causes this issue?

A form of substitute financing should be defined for a wage type whose
expenditure type is not financed.
However, no financing could be determined for the basic salary
expenditure type. This means that no basic salary financing was found
for the corresponding period in the employee's payroll results in the
financing table (FUND).
A substitution based on basic salary funding is therefore not possible.
