• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message HRPAO_DY_CUST018 - Do not set the OR indicator on the final line ?

  The SAP error message HRPAO_DY_CUST018, which states "Do not set the OR indicator on the final line," typically occurs in the context of payroll processing or when configuring certain HR-related settings in SAP. This error is related to the configuration of wage types or the payroll schema, particularly when dealing with the "OR" (or) indicator in the context of wage type processing.
  Cause:
  The error is triggered when the "OR" indicator is incorrectly set on the last line of a wage type configuration or in a payroll schema. The "OR" indicator is used to specify that the wage type should be processed in an "or" condition with other wage types. However, it is not valid to have this indicator set on the final line of a configuration because it implies that there are additional conditions to be evaluated, which is not possible if it is the last line.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to check the configuration of the wage types or the payroll schema where the error is occurring. Here are the steps to follow:
  
  
  Access the Configuration:
  
  Go to the relevant transaction in SAP (e.g., SPRO for configuration).
  Navigate to the section where wage types or payroll schemas are defined.
  
  
  
  Review the Wage Type Configuration:
  
  Look for the wage type that is causing the error.
  Check the settings for the last line of the configuration.
  
  
  
  Remove the OR Indicator:
  
  If the "OR" indicator is set on the last line, remove it.
  Ensure that the last line of the configuration does not have any conditions that require further evaluation.
  
  
  
  Test the Configuration:
  
  After making the changes, run a test payroll or simulation to ensure that the error no longer occurs.
  
  
  
  Documentation:
  
  Document the changes made for future reference and to inform other team members.
