SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: 53 - Incentive Wages Data

• Message number: 013

• Message text: Screen type &1 cannot be used for time ticket type &2

What causes this issue?

In Customizing, you have already specified whether it is necessary to
enter the personnel or group number for the time ticket type.
Therefore, only certain screen types can be assigned to the time ticket
type.

How can this happen?

You are required to enter the personnel number for the premium time
ticket (time ticket type '01') in the standard system. Consequently,
you can only use the list (screen type '1') and the list for several
persons (screen type '2') for this ticket type.
The screen types '3' and '4' (lists for several groups or lists for
several persons and groups) cannot be used since they require you to
enter a group number.
