SAP Error Message - Details

• Message number: 011

• Message text: The PBS wage type & does not have an SAP import wage type

What causes this issue?

The PBS wage type is either not in a valid wage type interval according
to table T5M5B or there is no corresponding SAP wage type, according to
table T512, that was coded to this wage type via the wage type
conversion in T5M8F.

System Response

Since the system cannot identify a suitable SAP wage type, the system
finds it impossible to treat the wage type during import. This wage
type is therefore not accepted.

How to fix this error?

Select a different wage type or choose a suitable SAP wage type in
T512W which corresponds to the PBS wage type, and which you can assign
to this PBS wage type via the wage type conversion T5M8F, if necessary
(if the WT name is different).
