SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

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

• Message number: 737

• Message text: Current pay cannot be cumulated: & - &

What causes this issue?

When creating the DEUEV notifications, current pay was found within an
invalid time period (&v1&..&v2&). Therefore, you cannot create a
correct DEUEV notification for this personnel number.

System Response

The personnel number processing is stopped.

How to fix this error?

This problem can occur, if additional splits have to be carried out in
the notification data by the valuation of absences within one month.
This happens, for example, if the 'Social Insurance' (0013) or the
DEUEV (0020) infotypes have no part-period split, and have some days
with an absence with the DEUEV indicator 'H' (Outsorting from the HI
fund) within the payroll period.
To avoid this, you can insert an artificial split in infotype 0013, or
exclude the personnel number from the DEUEV for future runs, and
transfer the notification to the print form.

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