  • What causes this issue?

    There are two scenarios that trigger this error message:
    Organization reform in statutory pension insurance

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

    As a result of the organizational reform that took effect January 1,
    2005, there is no longer any differentiation between pension insurance
    for hourly workers and pension insurance for salaried employees. You
    should now only use the PI indicators for the previous salaried workers'
    insurance.
    Part-time employment with waiver of PI exemption
    You entered the PI indicator for part-time employment to show that the
    employee has waived his or her PI exemption, which means the full PI
    contribution is incurred.

    System Response

    RESET N1
    Effective January 1, 2005, the PI indicator that used to show membership
    in the salaried employees' insurance fund is no longer allowed.
    Starting April 1, 2003, the PI indicator exists to show the situation
    more clearly, since the splitting of the contribution between employer
    and employee is now defined exactly.

    How to fix this error?

    If the infotype starts on April 1, 2003 (or January 1, 2005,
    respectively) or later, change the PI indicator to &V1&. If the infotype
    begins earlier, you have to create two infotype records. Use PI
    indicator &V1& for the period before April 1, 2003 (or January 1, 2005,
    respectively) and PI indicator &V2& for the second infotype record.

    Procedure for System Administrators

    Batch input report <DS:RE.RPISVZD0>RPISVZD0</> is available to convert
    existing infotype records effective January 1, 2005.
