• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 5N813 - NSI (change) created retroactively on &2 ?

  The SAP error message 5N813 typically indicates an issue related to the retroactive change of a non-salary information (NSI) record. This error occurs when an attempt is made to change a record that has already been processed in a previous payroll period, which can lead to inconsistencies in payroll calculations.
  Cause:
  The error message 5N813 is triggered when:
  
  A non-salary information (NSI) record is being changed retroactively, but the system has already processed payroll for the period in which the change is being made.
  The change may conflict with existing payroll results, leading to potential discrepancies in employee compensation or benefits.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, consider the following steps:
  
  
  Check Payroll Status: Verify if the payroll for the period in question has already been completed. If it has, you may need to run a retroactive payroll calculation.
  
  
  Use Correct Dates: Ensure that the effective date of the change is correct and that it aligns with the payroll processing periods.
  
  
  Adjust the Change: If the change is not necessary, consider adjusting the record to avoid retroactive changes. If the change is essential, you may need to reverse the payroll for the affected period and then reprocess it after making the change.
  
  
  Consult with Payroll Team: If you are unsure about the implications of making the change, consult with your payroll or HR team to understand the best course of action.
  
  
  Use Transaction Codes: Utilize transaction codes like PA30 (Maintain HR Master Data) to review and adjust the NSI records as needed.
  
  
  Documentation: Ensure that all changes are well-documented to maintain a clear audit trail for compliance and reporting purposes.
