HRGB_MPT001 - Details

• The SAP error message HRGB_MPT001, which states "MPT: A period cannot be cleared AND aggregated," typically occurs in the context of the SAP Human Capital Management (HCM) module, particularly when dealing with the Multi-Payroll Tool (MPT) or payroll processing.
  
  Cause:
  This error arises when there is an attempt to perform two conflicting operations on a payroll period:
  
  Clearing: This usually means that the payroll results for that period are being reset or deleted.
  Aggregating: This means that the payroll results for that period are being summarized or combined with other periods.
  
  The system does not allow both operations to be performed on the same period simultaneously, as it can lead to inconsistencies in payroll data.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you should follow these steps:
  
  
  Check the Payroll Status: Ensure that the payroll period you are trying to clear is not currently being aggregated. You can check the status of the payroll period in the payroll control record.
