How To Fix 5P030 - Renumber the rule or generate the check program

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: 5P - Error Messages for Schema, Pers.Calc.Rule and Feature Checks

• Message number: 030

• Message text: Renumber the rule or generate the check program

What causes this issue?

The check routine you have called does not match the operation.

How to fix this error?

There are two possible reasons for this error:
Each operation of the personnel calculation rule is numbered. Sometimes
the number of a certain operation changes but this change is not
updated in the personnel calculation rule. In such cases, you must
renumber the operations in the personnel calculation rule using report
RPUCT800.
Check routines are accessed using generated indexed performs. If you
change the numbering of operations, the index can change. The check
routines must then be regenerated. Use report RPUCT700 to create the
indexed perform for the operations. Then, generate the check program
using the report RPUGCC00. Do this only if renumbering of the personnel
calculation rule did not remedy the error.
