System Response

Creating infotype 341 (DEUEV start) only makes sense when the employee
was brought into the system through a legacy data transfer. In this
case, full payroll results are not available until a certain month - the
month of the live start - although the employee already worked for the
company.
In this case, infotype 341 contains the time from which DEUEV
notifications can be created in the system. This is usually the first
day of the month of the first production payroll run.

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

Do not use infotype 341 for new hires.

How to fix this error?

Change the DEUEV start date to the first day of the month.
