    The SAP error message 5M550 typically relates to issues with the configuration of the personnel administration module, specifically regarding the processing of wage types for employees. This error indicates that there is a problem with the selection of wage types for a monthly wage earner, and it specifies which types are permitted.

    Cause:

    The error message 5M550 is triggered when the system encounters a wage type that is not allowed for a monthly wage earner. The permitted wage types are listed in the error message (0, 3, 4, 7, 8, 9, A, D, E, F). If a wage type outside of this list is being used for a monthly wage earner, the system will generate this error.

    1. Check Wage Type Configuration:

      • Go to the configuration settings for wage types in SAP (Transaction code: SM30 or SPRO).
      • Verify the configuration for the wage types being used for the employee in question. Ensure that only the permitted wage types are assigned to the employee.
    2. Review Employee Master Data:

      • Check the employee's master data (Transaction code: PA30) to see which wage types are assigned.
      • Ensure that the wage types assigned to the employee are among the permitted types listed in the error message.
    3. Adjust Payroll Schema:

      • If necessary, review the payroll schema to ensure that it is correctly configured to handle the wage types for monthly wage earners.
      • You may need to adjust the schema to include or exclude certain wage types based on your organization's payroll policies.
    4. Consult Documentation:

      • Refer to SAP documentation or your organization's payroll guidelines to understand the correct wage types for monthly wage earners.
    5. Testing:

      • After making the necessary adjustments, run a test payroll for the employee to ensure that the error no longer occurs.

    Related Information:
