SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message number: 014

• Message text: Cannot determine posting run for previous payroll result

What causes this issue?

The system is processing a posting run which was created during the
evaluation of the retroactive accounting result &v2& (status indicator
A). In addition, the system must also determine the posting run which
was created during the previous payroll result (status indicator P).
However, this is not possible. The corresponding posting information
(personnel number &v1&) could therefore not be transferred into the BW.

System Response

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