• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 3O058 - NP employer/employee rate &1 should not be greater than permitted rate &2 ?

  The SAP error message 3O058 indicates that there is a discrepancy between the employer/employee rate specified in the payroll or benefits configuration and the permitted rate defined in the system. This error typically arises in the context of payroll processing, particularly when dealing with contributions to social security, health insurance, or other benefits.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when:
  
  The rate entered for an employer or employee exceeds the maximum allowable rate defined in the system.
  There may be a configuration issue where the permitted rate has not been updated to reflect current regulations or agreements.
  The employee's data may have been incorrectly entered, leading to an invalid rate being applied.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Configuration Settings:
  
  Navigate to the relevant configuration settings in SAP (usually in the IMG under Payroll or Benefits).
  Verify the permitted rates for the specific benefit or contribution type. Ensure that they are up to date and reflect the current legal or organizational requirements.
  
  
  
  Review Employee Data:
  
  Check the employee's master data to ensure that the correct rates are being applied.
  Look for any discrepancies in the employee's payroll information that might lead to an incorrect rate being calculated.
  
  
  
  Adjust Rates:
  
  If the employer/employee rate is indeed correct and should be higher, you may need to adjust the permitted rate in the configuration to allow for the higher contribution.
  Conversely, if the permitted rate is correct, you will need to adjust the employee or employer rate to comply with the allowed limits.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review any relevant documentation or guidelines related to the specific benefit or contribution to ensure compliance with regulations.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making adjustments, run a test payroll to ensure that the error does not reoccur and that the rates are being applied correctly.
