• Message text: The internal no. &1 is valid for a repaid claim

What causes this issue?

This posting of the <LS>Garnishment</> infotype (0272) is valid in this
payroll period when the corresponding claim is entered as paid in the
SAR cluster table of the previous period.

System Response

The system interrupts the calculation of amounts to deduct for the
garnishment.

How to fix this error?

Check the claim balance. If this amount is zero, delimit the infotype
before launching the payroll. The PRLSA4F0 program allows you to delimit
the claims settled for all employees in a payroll accounting area.
Enter a new claim in infotype 0272 with the amount remaining to pay from
the point where the SAR of the previous period is incorrect. Check your
payroll schema to prevent this error from occurring again. Check that
the wage types of table IT indicating the amounts to deduct have not
been deleted between the FPSAR payroll function and launch of the FUSAR
operation, which is triggered by rule FSA4 in the standard schema.

Procedure for System Administrators

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