• Message number: 511

• Message text: Incorrect value for "Create which payslip?"

What causes this issue?

You want to create the annual data medium for L16, but you have not used
the value <ZH>All Payslips</> in the <DS:DE.P03C_P_PRN>Create which
payslip?</> parameter. Consequently, the data medium does not contain
all payslips as of January 01 of the respective calendar year.

How to fix this error?

Use the 'L' value for those employees and payroll periods as of 2003 for
which only the latest payroll period is to be transferred as a result of
an employee joining and leaving the company several times. However, do
not use this value for alternating domestic employment and employment
abroad.
Otherwise, you can use one of the following values to create the data
medium or ELDA records in the <ZH>Create which payslip?</> parameter:
<LB>A</>
<LB>C</>
<LB>I</>
<LB>U</>

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.
