  The SAP error message 5I067 ("Amount/Number should not be entered for wage type &") typically occurs in the context of payroll processing when an amount or number is incorrectly entered for a wage type that is not supposed to have a monetary value associated with it. This can happen during the entry of payroll data, such as in infotypes or during the processing of payroll results.
  Cause:
  
  
  Incorrect Wage Type Configuration: The wage type in question may be configured in such a way that it does not allow for amounts to be entered. This is often the case for wage types that are meant to represent non-monetary values, such as time-related wage types (e.g., hours worked) or specific indicators (e.g., absence types).
  
  
  Data Entry Error: A user may have mistakenly entered a value for a wage type that is not intended to have a monetary amount.
  
  
  Payroll Schema Issues: There may be issues in the payroll schema or rules that are incorrectly processing the wage type.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Wage Type Configuration: Review the configuration of the wage type in the SAP system. Ensure that it is set up correctly and that it is intended to accept amounts. You can do this by navigating to the wage type configuration in the SAP IMG (Implementation Guide).
  
  
  Correct Data Entry: If the error is due to incorrect data entry, ensure that the user does not enter an amount for that specific wage type. Educate users on which wage types require amounts and which do not.

  Testing: After making any changes, conduct tests to ensure that the error no longer occurs and that payroll processing runs smoothly.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific details about the wage type in question and its intended use.
  
  
  Related Information:
