How To Fix 5D139 - Multiple occupational codes in month &/&

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: 5D - Error Messages for German Infotype Module Pools

• Message number: 139

• Message text: Multiple occupational codes in month &/&

What causes this issue?

In the payroll month &v1&/&v2&, many different occupational codes were
found in the payroll result. However, no content relevant for
notification exists that would lead to the creation of a DEUEV
deregistration and registration.

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

In notifications for miners' insurance DEUEV, only one occupational code
can be reported for the whole month (the most applicable code).

System Response

How to fix this error?

Check the master data (infotypes 0013 and 0020). Presumably, infotype
0020 contains two records in payroll month &v1&/&v2& with different
occupational codes and infotype 0013 contains a split on the same date
that is not relevant for DEUEV notification.
Check whether the split in infotype 0013 is justified. If necessary,
correct infotype 0013.
If the split in infotype 0013 is correct even though it is not relevant
for DEUEV notification, correct infotype 0020.
Select the occupational code that is to be reported for the payroll
month &v1&/&v2& and enter this key for the whole month in infotype 0020.
Run payroll again for the personnel number.
Create the DEUEV notifications for the personnel number.
