    CPR number fails.

    number for an employee who has recently immigrated.

    System Response

    The system rejects further processing until a suitable entry has been
    made.

    How to fix this error?

    Enter a valid CPR number. Under certain circumstances, the employee is
    unable to submit a CPR number that the check routines will accept (as
    in the above example).
    In this case, you can use special CPR numbers which, like the official
    numbers, start with a 6-digit date of birth, and end with the following
    4 digits: 0000, 9991, or 9992. If you need a temporary CPR number for
    male employees, enter 9991. If you need a temporary CPR number for
    female employees, enter 9992. These are also accepted during payroll
    runs. 0000 is mainly used for reasons of compatibility.
