• Message number: 003

• Message text: Off-cycle reason does not have the category 'Bonus'

What causes this issue?

You tried to assign an off-cycle reason that does not belong to the
category <ZK>Bonus run</>.
In this table (T74HI), you determine for all relevant plans which
off-cycle reasons trigger the processing of bonus contribution/cost in
an off-cycle payroll run. This only makes sense for an off-cycle reason
that is assigned to the category <ZK>Bonus run
</>. The handling of benefit plan deductions in an off-cycle payroll of
a different category does not take into account the bonus
contribution/cost and is therefore not controlled by this table.

System Response

Select an off-cycle reason in the category <ZK>Bonus run</>.
