SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: H1 - Messages Used in HR Funds and Position Management

• Message number: 463

• Message text: Retroactive payroll run back to &1 not possible for person &2

What causes this issue?

You have changed the financing details of person &v2& so that they take
effect retroactively.
This means that the payroll results posted to the old donor budget
structure element will be canceled back to &1, and posted to the new
donor budget structure element.
However, the retroactive accounting date (&v1) is earlier than the
<DS:DE.PRRDT> personal earliest possible retroactive accounting date
</> of person &v2&.

System Response

Unable to perform retroactive accounting run back to &1.

How to fix this error?

You have two options:
Change the personal earliest possible retroactive accounting date to
&v1& in the <ls>Payroll Status</> infotype of person &v2&. Before you
do this, however, always ask yourself why the original earliest
personal retroactive accounting date was defined as it was.
Only change the <ls>financing assignment</> as of &v1&. This will mean
that there will be no conflicts with the earliest personal retroactive
accounting date defined for person &v2&,

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message H1463 - Retroactive payroll run back to &1 not possible for person &2 ?

  The SAP error message H1463 indicates that a retroactive payroll run cannot be performed for a specific employee (person &2) back to a specified date (&1). This error typically arises in the context of payroll processing when there are issues with the data or configuration that prevent the system from executing the retroactive payroll run.
  Causes:
  
  
  Time Constraints: The retroactive payroll run is limited by the payroll period settings. If the date specified (&1) is outside the allowed retroactive period defined in the payroll configuration, the system will not allow the run.
  
  
  Payroll Status: The employee may have a payroll status that does not permit retroactive processing. For example, if the payroll has already been finalized for the period in question, retroactive changes may not be allowed.
  
  
  Data Inconsistencies: There may be inconsistencies or missing data in the employee's master data or payroll results that prevent the retroactive payroll from being processed.
  
  
  Configuration Issues: The payroll schema or rules may not be configured to handle retroactive changes properly.
  
  
  Locks or Authorizations: There may be locks on the payroll data or insufficient authorizations for the user attempting to perform the retroactive payroll run.
  
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Payroll Period: Verify the payroll period settings to ensure that the date specified for the retroactive run is within the allowed range. Adjust the settings if necessary.
  
  
  Review Payroll Status: Check the payroll status of the employee. If the payroll has been finalized, you may need to reverse the payroll for that period before performing a retroactive run.
  
  
  Correct Data Issues: Review the employee's master data and payroll results for any inconsistencies or missing information. Correct any issues found.
  
  
  Configuration Review: Consult with your SAP payroll configuration team to ensure that the payroll schema and rules are set up correctly to allow for retroactive processing.
  
  
  Check Locks and Authorizations: Ensure that there are no locks on the payroll data and that the user has the necessary authorizations to perform the retroactive payroll run.

  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to payroll processing and retroactive payroll runs for additional guidance.
