  • What causes this issue?

    You chose <LS>automatic assignment of a customizing wage type</> and
    then entered the two parameters to create names for the customizing
    wage types automatically. But one of the wage type names you have just
    generated already exists in table T512W.

    System Response

    The entry that had an existing wage type name is not created, but all
    the other new entries are displayed in the table.

    How can this happen?

    You entered the following:
    Wage type begins at <LS>1000</>
    Number of wage types <LS>4</>
    Increase per step <LS>10</>
    However, wage type 1020 already exists, so the system only creates
    three new entries in the table on the screen. These are:
    <LS>Original WT</> <LS>Customizing WT</>
    XXXX 1000
    XXXX 1010
    XXXX 1030
