How To Fix 5G108 - Enter only one payee bank with country key &

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: 5G - HR: Messages for Britain

• Message number: 108

• Message text: Enter only one payee bank with country key &

What causes this issue?

The payee key identifies the person who is to receive the payments. The
payment method depends on the country key which in turn is based on the
bank entered for the payee and the payment key. However, since payments
are made from the country of the employee's company code, the payment
method for the company code country is also decisive. In the present
situation, the country key of the employee's company code is different
from that of the payee bank, and the system does not know which one to
use for payment.

System Response

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

How to fix this error?

Use the payee key for payee banks with the same country key as the
employee's company code. Make the necessary corrections in the payee
table.
