• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message HRITFAU037 - Dates cross differing ABN's. Create 2 payment summaries ?

  The SAP error message HRITFAU037, which states "Dates cross differing ABN's. Create 2 payment summaries," typically occurs in the context of payroll processing in Australia, particularly when dealing with payment summaries for employees who have worked under different Australian Business Numbers (ABNs) during the same financial year.
  Cause:
  This error arises when an employee has received payments from different entities (with different ABNs) within the same financial year. The Australian Taxation Office (ATO) requires that payment summaries be issued separately for each ABN, as each entity is responsible for its own tax reporting. If the payroll system detects that an employee's payment dates overlap across different ABNs, it triggers this error.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you will need to create separate payment summaries for each ABN. Here are the steps to do this:
  
  
  Identify the ABNs: Determine which ABNs are associated with the employee's payments. You may need to check the payroll records for the specific periods in question.
  
  
  Split the Payment Summaries: 
  
  Go to the payroll processing module in SAP.
  Use the relevant transaction code (e.g., PC00_M99_CWTR) to generate payment summaries.
  Ensure that you filter the data by ABN. You may need to run the report separately for each ABN to create distinct payment summaries.
  
  
  
  Review Dates: Make sure that the payment dates do not overlap when generating the summaries. If they do, you may need to adjust the payroll records to ensure compliance.
  
  
  Generate Payment Summaries: After filtering by ABN, generate the payment summaries for each entity. This will typically involve running a report that compiles the necessary data for each ABN.
  
  
  Validate and Submit: Once you have created the payment summaries, validate the information to ensure accuracy. After validation, submit the payment summaries to the ATO as required.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  ABN (Australian Business Number): This is a unique identifier issued by the Australian Business Register (ABR) to businesses in Australia. Each business entity must have its own ABN for tax purposes.
  Payment Summaries: These are documents that summarize an employee's earnings and tax withheld for a financial year. They are required for tax reporting and must be issued to employees by their employers.
  ATO Compliance: It is crucial to comply with ATO regulations regarding payment summaries and tax reporting. Failure to do so can result in penalties or issues with employee tax filings.
  
  Additional Tips:
  
  Always keep accurate records of employee payments and associated ABNs to avoid such errors in the future.
  Regularly review payroll processes and ensure that all staff involved in payroll are trained on the importance of ABN compliance.
  Consult with your SAP support team or a payroll specialist if you encounter persistent issues or require further assistance.
