How To Fix 5D578 - Do not enter a contribution class

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

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

• Message number: 578

• Message text: Do not enter a contribution class

What causes this issue?

The system checks whether a SI settlement is possible with the existing
table entries and values from the infotype. If the HI settlement must
process a fixed value from table 5D10, you must specify a contribution
class in the infotype. In table 5D1N you can see whether the
contribution calculation takes place, using table 5D10.
Note how table 5D1N is read. The key of table 5D1N is filled using the
HI keys from the infotype, the indictor 'X' for privately insured, the
indicator 'X' for HI exempt persons under the annual remuneration
limit, and the health insurance indicator from table 5D1K.
If the fields 'total contribution calculation', 'employer contribution'
or 'tax free employer contribution' are marked with 'F', the table 5D10
is needed to calculate the HI contribution.

System Response

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