How To Fix CRMS4_PS_GROSS136 - Delimitation check: A GPI attempts to delimit an already due payment (&2)

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: CRMS4_PS_GROSS - Gross Entitlement and Payment

• Message number: 136

• Message text: Delimitation check: A GPI attempts to delimit an already due payment (&2)

What causes this issue?

You triggered an activity during which the historic gross payment
document (GPD) item &V3& should have been delimited by an item of this
actual calculation. This activity was stopped because the part of the
item &V3& that should have been delimited represents a past payment.
Delimitation of GPD items is only possible for future parts of a GPD
item.
This situation only occurs in scenarios where a payment frequency was
changed in the sequence of follow-up decisions. All entitlements until
&V2& potentially delimit payment items that are already due, and hence
may result in the same exception.

System Response

The current calculation was stopped.

How to fix this error?

Depending on the scenario, the following options are available:
Scenario 1: First GPD with a new payment frequency in a sequence of
follow-up decisions
Change the decision period, so that the calculation period of the actual
gross payment calculation starts after &V2&.
Scenario 2: For GPDs following a GPD with a new payment frequency
Postpone with the actual calculation until the actual break-date is
later than &V2&.
Given the precondition that all older gross payment items (GPIs) were
delimited within scenario 1, you should be able to execute any GPIs (for
example, without any time constraints) in scenario 2.

Procedure for System Administrators

&V2& = actual break-date of the historic GPD (holding item &V3&)
&V3& = historic GPI
