• Message number: 447

• Message text: Adjustment of posting index for out-of-sequence has failed: & & &

What causes this issue?

Due to an out-of-sequence reversal, the posting index of run &v1& for
personnel number &v2&, sequence number &v3& should be adjusted.
The adjustment of the posting items has failed.

System Response

The system reaction depends on the run type:
If run &v1& is a simulation posting run:
The out-of-sequence reversal is executed, but the posting index for
posting run &v1& is not adjusted. The message is output as a warning.
A possible cause of the problem is that run &v1& is based on an older
version of payroll result &v2&, which has, in the meantime, been
overwritten.
If run &v1& is a live posting run:
The out-of-sequence reversal is not executed and the posting index is
not adjusted.
This situation should not occur in live posting runs in production
systems.
