How To Fix 5M561 - Problematic change to CPR/SE number

5M561 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: 5M - Error Messages for Denmark

• Message number: 561

• Message text: Problematic change to CPR/SE number

What causes this issue?

You have tried to change the CPR number or SE number. However, when
this field is used in Payroll this change can lead to problems with the
tax authorities at the end of the year, if the taxes paid were paid
under different CPR numbers during payroll in the current year, as the
tax message is not split according to CPR numbers.
For example, if you change the employee from number A to number B in
the middle of the year and taxes of 50,000 DKK were paid for the
employee when he still had the CPR number A and 30,000 DKK of taxes
were later paid under CPR number B, the tax authorities see 80,000 DKK
of taxes under CPR number B at the end of the year, whereas 30,000DKK
were paid in the current year.
At the same time, no year end statement was created for CPR number A
although 50,000 DKK worth of taxes were paid under this CPR number.

System Response

As the problem occurs during payroll via PBS, the message can, under
certain circumstances, be ignored. Feature MCPRC is responsible for the
type of message (none, error, warning, information, cancellation).

How to fix this error?

If you use payroll via PBS, you should assign a new personnel number
instead (if the change occurs in the middle of a payroll year).
