TRANSLATORS: ALMOST IDENTICAL TO MESSAGE 003 (EXCEPT "date modifier")

What causes this issue?

The payroll area of the employee currently being processed is
attributed with the date modifier &V3&. This is different to the date
modifier &V1& of the payment model &V2&, which has been determined for
this employee by means of the feature MODDE.
Employees with different payroll areas cannot be processed with the
same payment model. Different payment models must be defined for each
payroll area that requires a payment model. Furthermore, each payment
model must be attributed with the same period parameter and date
modifier as the payroll area that returns the payment model in the
feature MODDE.

System Response

Payroll processing terminated for the current employee, since a correct
payment model could not be determined.

How to fix this error?

Make sure that each payroll area returns an unique payment model in the
feature MODDE (transaction PE03).
Make sure that correct payment models are returned by the feature MODDE
and that the period parameter and date modifier of each payment model
are the same as the period parameter and date modifier of the payroll
area that returns the payment model in the feature.
