• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 5C664 - Nno value type is defined for conversion for wage type &1 ?

  The SAP error message 5C664 ("No value type is defined for conversion for wage type &1") typically occurs in the context of payroll processing when the system is unable to find a corresponding value type for a specific wage type during a conversion process. This can happen during payroll runs, reporting, or when trying to generate payroll results.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Configuration: The most common cause of this error is that the wage type in question has not been properly configured in the system. Specifically, there may be no value type assigned to the wage type in the relevant configuration settings.
  Incorrect Mapping: The mapping between wage types and value types may be incorrect or incomplete, leading to the system being unable to perform the necessary conversions.
  Custom Wage Types: If custom wage types have been created, they may not have been fully defined in the system, including their associated value types.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Wage Type Configuration:
  
  Go to the transaction code SM30 or SM31 and check the configuration for wage types in the relevant tables (e.g., T512W for wage types).
  Ensure that the wage type in question has a corresponding value type defined.
  
  
  
  Define Value Types:
  
  If the wage type does not have a value type defined, you will need to create or assign a value type to it. This can typically be done in the configuration settings under Payroll -> Wage Types -> Define Wage Types.
  
  
  
  Review Payroll Schema:
  
  Check the payroll schema to ensure that the wage type is included and that the necessary conversion rules are defined correctly.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, run a test payroll to see if the error persists. Use transaction PC00_MXX_CALC (where MXX is your country code) to simulate the payroll run.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to wage type configuration and payroll processing for additional guidance.
