SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

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

• Message number: 701

• Message text: BVG-Wage: No period found for employee between &1 and &2

What causes this issue?

No period matching the PF master data could be found for this employee
in the periods from &V1& to &V2&. The PC operation
<DS:TX.HRCH_VSDOC_OP_02_PK_B0>BVG wage</> uses this as a reference
period to determine the total wage coordinated by the BVG between &V1&
and &V2&.
Probable reason: No employee record exists between &V1& and &V2& in
Individual Values infotype 0279.

How to fix this error?

If the employee is registered without infotype 0279, you must create a
posting with the value type LNB0 with a posting date between &V1& and
&V2&. Thus, you can determine the <DS:TX.HRCH_VSDOC_DF_02_PK_LNB0>BVG
basis</>.
If this is not an option and at least one record exists in Individual
Values PF infotype 0279, notify your system administrator.
