How To Fix 57283 - This operation is not possible for wage type tables

57283 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: 57 - Component 709: Interface to external payroll system

• Message number: 283

• Message text: This operation is not possible for wage type tables

What causes this issue?

Due to the particular meaning of the wage type in the interface format
and in the change validation, a table which contains a field called
"LGART" can be dealt with in two ways in the Interface Toolbox.
"Regular Table" (for example, the WPBP table)
"Wage Type Table" (for example, the RT table)
If a restriction is defined in the Interface Format for the LGART
field, the table is treated as a wage type table.

System Response

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

How to fix this error?

If you control the treatment of wage types in retroactive accounting
using wage type restrictions (in the interface format), it is not
possible to use the functions; "Individual Field Check", "Key Fields"
and "Relations", whereas the "Delimit" function is only possible at
wage type level and must be executed individually for every wage type.
