How To Fix HRBEN00VIEWS136 - Compensation wage type & already used for plan &

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: HRBEN00VIEWS - Error Messages for Benefits - Views

• Message number: 136

• Message text: Compensation wage type & already used for plan &

What causes this issue?

You tried to assign the same compensation wage type to more than one
plan. The system uses the compensation wage type to store cumulated
salary and working time derived from either the technical wage type or
the compensation model. These results are required, for example, in
order to run an extraction of cumulated payroll results for retirement
plans ( transaction HRBEN00RETPAYCUM).
For correct processing, the cumulated results must be stored separately
for each plan. If the results of more than one plan are stored in the
same wage type, they are added and cannot be separated again.
Therefore, you cannot assign the same wage type to more than one plan.

How to fix this error?

Select a compensation wage type which has not been used yet for another
plan.
