SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

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

• Message number: 237

• Message text: No source wage types exist for the conversion

What causes this issue?

None of the templates for Swiss wage types (country grouping 02) with
validity period 01.01.1801-12.31.1801 or 01.01.1802-12.31.1802 were
found in client &V1&. These entries should have been delivered with
this program and contain coding for the wage types to be used with the
old (01.01.1801-12.31.1801) or new (01.01.1802-12.31.1802) SI module in
Swiss Payroll.

System Response

No wage types are converted in client &V1&.

How to fix this error?

If you do not use Swiss Payroll or do not run Swiss Payroll
in client &V1&, you can ignore this message.
After the cause of the error has been removed, and after the date of
subapplication SV01 has been checked in maintenance view V_T596D, as
described in the documentation on report <DS:RE.RPU40AC0>RPU40AC0</>,
you can run report RPU40AC0 to restart the conversion for a single
client. If the start date you selected to use the new SI is 01.01.1998,
or if your source release is greater than 4.0B, you can start report
<DS:RE.RPU40BX_CH_SVLGARTS>RPU40BX_CH_SVLGARTS</> to convert all
clients instead.
If you use <ZK>Swiss Payroll</>, inform the HR system administrator
responsible.

Procedure for System Administrators

The administrator must determine why the wage types do not
exist with this validity period in this client. For details on the wage
types and validity period, see note 426423.
If the wage types' validity period exists in client 000
(see /102, for example), transfer the entries to this client and restart
the conversion for this client by running report
<DS:RE.RPU40AC0>RPU40AC0</>.
