  The SAP error message 5F096 indicates that the system is unable to determine the part-time coefficient for prorated calculations for a specific period. This typically occurs in the context of payroll processing or time management when the system is trying to calculate payments or entitlements for employees who work part-time.
  Cause:
  The error can arise due to several reasons, including:
  
  Missing Configuration: The part-time coefficient may not be configured in the system for the specific employee or for the relevant time period.
  Incorrect Employee Data: The employee's master data may not have the necessary information regarding their working hours or part-time status.
  Time Management Settings: There may be issues with the time management settings that prevent the system from calculating the part-time coefficient correctly.
  Period-Specific Settings: The settings for the specific period in question may not be defined, leading to the inability to determine the coefficient.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Configuration:
  
  Go to the configuration settings for part-time coefficients in the SAP system (usually found in the IMG under Payroll or Time Management).
  Ensure that the part-time coefficients are defined for the relevant employee groups and time periods.
  
  
  
  Review Employee Master Data:
  
  Check the employee's master data (infotypes such as 0007 - Planned Working Time) to ensure that the part-time status and working hours are correctly maintained.
  Make sure that the employee is assigned to the correct personnel area and employee group.
  
  
  
  Validate Time Management Settings:
  
  Review the time management settings to ensure that they are correctly set up for part-time employees.

  Check Period-Specific Settings:
  
  Ensure that there are no missing settings for the specific period (e.g., payroll period, calendar month) that could affect the calculation.
  
  
  
  Run Consistency Checks:
  
  Use transaction codes like PA30 to check the employee's data and PC00_MXX_CALC to run payroll calculations and see if the error persists.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help notes related to payroll and time management for additional guidance on configuring part-time coefficients.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
