• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message HRGB_GBSXP070 - Wage type &1 is defined in more than one OXP Wage Type Group ?

  The SAP error message HRGB_GBSXP070 indicates that a specific wage type (denoted as &1) is defined in more than one OXP (Off-Cycle Payment) Wage Type Group. This situation can lead to confusion in payroll processing, as the system may not know which wage type group to use for the specified wage type.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is the configuration in the SAP system where a wage type has been assigned to multiple OXP Wage Type Groups. This can happen due to:
  
  Incorrect Configuration: During the setup of wage types and their associations with wage type groups, a wage type may have been mistakenly assigned to more than one group.
  Changes in Requirements: If there have been changes in payroll requirements or business processes, wage types may have been reassigned without proper review of existing configurations.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to ensure that each wage type is assigned to only one OXP Wage Type Group. Here are the steps to do this:
  
  
  Identify the Wage Type: Note the specific wage type that is causing the error (indicated by &1 in the error message).
  
  
  Check OXP Wage Type Groups:
  
  Go to the configuration settings in SAP for Off-Cycle Payment Wage Type Groups.
  Use transaction code SPRO to access the configuration menu.
  Navigate to Payroll > Payroll for Country > Wage Type > Define Off-Cycle Payment Wage Type Groups.
  
  
  
  Review Assignments:
  
  Look for the wage type in question and check which OXP Wage Type Groups it is assigned to.
  Remove the wage type from all but one of the groups to ensure it is only associated with a single group.
  
  
  
  Test the Configuration: After making the necessary changes, run a test payroll or off-cycle payment to ensure that the error no longer occurs.
  
  
  Documentation: Document the changes made for future reference and to maintain clarity in the configuration.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Wage Types: Wage types in SAP represent different types of payments or deductions that can be processed in payroll.
  OXP Wage Type Groups: These groups are used to categorize wage types specifically for off-cycle payments, which are payments made outside of the regular payroll cycle.
