• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 5I137 - Dates cross differing ABN's. Create 2 payment summaries. ?

  The SAP error message 5I137, which states "Dates cross differing ABN's. Create 2 payment summaries," typically occurs in the context of payroll processing and payment summary generation in SAP, particularly in the Australian payroll module. This error indicates that the payroll data being processed spans multiple Australian Business Numbers (ABNs), which are used for tax purposes in Australia. When payroll data crosses different ABNs, SAP requires separate payment summaries to be generated for each ABN.
  Cause:
  
  Multiple ABNs: The payroll data includes employees or payments that are associated with different ABNs. This can happen if an employee has worked for different entities that have different ABNs during the same payroll period.
  Date Range: The date range of the payroll processing overlaps with different ABNs, leading to confusion in how to report the earnings and tax withheld.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you will need to create separate payment summaries for each ABN. Here are the steps to do this:
  
  
  Identify ABNs: Determine which employees or payments are associated with which ABNs. You may need to review the employee master data or payroll records.
  
  
  Split Payroll Data: If the payroll data spans multiple ABNs, you will need to split the payroll run into separate runs for each ABN. This may involve:
  
  Running the payroll process separately for each ABN.
  Ensuring that the date ranges for each run do not overlap.
  
  
  
  Generate Payment Summaries: After processing payroll separately for each ABN, generate the payment summaries:
  
  Use the appropriate transaction code (e.g., RPCALCD0 for payment summary generation) for each ABN.
  Ensure that the payment summaries reflect the correct amounts and tax information for each ABN.
  
  
  
  Review and Validate: After generating the payment summaries, review them for accuracy. Ensure that all earnings, deductions, and tax withholdings are correctly reported for each ABN.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  ABN (Australian Business Number): A unique identifier issued by the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) to businesses and organizations for tax purposes.
  Payment Summaries: Documents that summarize an employee's earnings and tax withheld for a financial year, which are provided to employees and reported to the ATO.
  SAP Payroll Configuration: Ensure that your SAP payroll configuration is set up correctly to handle multiple ABNs, including employee master data and payroll processing rules.
  
  If you continue to experience issues or if the situation is complex, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or a payroll specialist familiar with Australian payroll regulations and SAP systems.
