SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message number: 222

• Message text: No register rate is allocated to rate type &1 and rate category &2

What causes this issue?

Rate type &v1& is <DS:DE.USE_REGISTER>valid for registers</>. These
wage types are usually assigned rates that are also valid for registers
in the rate determination.
If the rate determination is ambiguous, rates that are
<DS:DE.USE_FACTS>valid for facts</> may also be used. In this case,
however, the wage type must be assigned at least one register rate, to
enable the rate-specific register data to be determined.
This rate type (together with rate category &v2&) was not assigned a
register rate on key date &v3&.

System Response

The rate determination is inconsistent.
