• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 5U064 - Resident and work percentages should equal 100% ?

  The SAP error message 5U064 indicates that the total of the resident and work percentages for a particular employee or position does not equal 100%. This error typically arises in the context of personnel administration or payroll processing, where the system expects the sum of the resident percentage (the percentage of time the employee is expected to work at a specific location) and the work percentage (the percentage of time the employee is expected to work overall) to equal 100%.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Data Entry: The most common cause is that the resident and work percentages have been entered incorrectly in the employee's master data.
  Configuration Issues: There may be issues with the configuration of the employee's work schedule or the way percentages are calculated in the system.
  Changes in Employment Status: If an employee's status has changed (e.g., from full-time to part-time), the percentages may not have been updated accordingly.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Employee Master Data:
  
  Navigate to the employee's master data in the SAP system (usually through transaction codes like PA30).
  Verify the resident and work percentages in the relevant infotypes (e.g., Infotype 0001 for Organizational Assignment, Infotype 0007 for Planned Working Time).
  Ensure that the sum of the resident percentage and work percentage equals 100%.
  
  
  
  Correct the Percentages:
  
  If the percentages do not add up to 100%, adjust them accordingly. For example, if the resident percentage is 60%, the work percentage should be set to 40%.
  Save the changes and recheck if the error persists.
  
  
  
  Review Work Schedule Configuration:
  
  If the issue is related to work schedule configuration, review the settings in the relevant configuration areas (e.g., work schedule rules, absence types).
  Ensure that the work schedule is correctly defined and that it aligns with the employee's assigned percentages.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation or Support:
  
  If you are unable to resolve the issue, consult SAP documentation or reach out to your SAP support team for further assistance.
