What causes this issue?

The indirect evaluation of the structure equalization requires
information about the progression indicator, which is stored in the
table for transition data (PDPBSTVOED_UEB) for this purpose. The value
is determined (assuming it exists) from the case group of the employee
at the time of the transition. However, due to missing legacy data, this
is not possible in this case.

System Response

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

How to fix this error?

Alternative methods of setting the progression indicator in the table
from within this report are using the BAdI (HRPBSDE_TVOED, method
CHANGE_AUFST) or correcting the data based on the personnel number using
infotype 0008 (Basic Pay).
