How To Fix 5C222 - Error when changing SI start date for wage type &2 in client &1

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: 5C - HR: Messages for Switzerland

• Message number: 222

• Message text: Error when changing SI start date for wage type &2 in client &1

What causes this issue?

When the SI start date of wage type &V2& is postponed in client &V1&,
the SI start date to be postponed cannot be uniquely identified. The SI
start date is the date as of which the Swiss wage type entries (field
MOLGA = '02') in table T512W must contain coding to enable the new SI
to be used. If this report runs during an upgrade, the postponement is
made to 01.01.2002 for customers who implemented the new SI in Release
3.1I before the upgrade. If this report is started manually using
report RPU40AC0, the postponement is made to the start date of
subapplication SV01 in table T596D. To determine the original SI start
date to be postponed to &V3&, the system searches for entries of this
wage type with an end date later than 01.01.1998 but earlier than
01.01.2002. If more than one entry meets this criterion, the system
cannot uniquely identify the records which must be changed.

System Response

The wage type is not converted. This can cause errors in Swiss Payroll
(reports RPCALCC0 and RPCALCCM) and in evaluations that process payroll
results.

How to fix this error?

<ZH>If you do not use <ZK>Swiss Payroll</> or do not run Swiss Payroll
in client &V1&, you can ignore this message and all other error
messages associated with the program.</>
Otherwise, you must remove the cause of the error and restart the
conversion before your first live payroll or evaluation as follows:
If the situation described in the Diagnosis section (more than one
entry of this wage type with 01.01.1998 <= ENDDA < 01.01.2002) does
<ZH>not</> apply, the problem is probably caused by a program error.
Please contact SAP Support.
Otherwise, you must remove superfluous entries with an end date in the
range of 01.01.1998 - 12.31.2001 until no more than one such entry
exists. If you are not sure which entries are superfluous, copy this
wage type's entry (with time interval 01.01.1801-12.31.1801) to the
time interval 01.01.1998-12.31.2001. Before copying, you may need to
delete any entries with ENDDA='12.31.2001'. After you have checked the
date of subapplication SV01 (table T596D), you must use program
<DS:RE.RPU40AC0>RPU40AC0</> to restart the conversion; this applies to
both cases described above.

Procedure for System Administrators

If you use Swiss Payroll, inform the HR administrator who is
responsible. For more details on the conversion, see note 426423 and
the documentation on report
<DS:RE.RPU40BX_CH_SVLGARTS>RPU40BX_CH_SVLGARTS</>.
