• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message HRPAY00DEC011 - Secondary wage type group &1 is not a subset of base wage type group &2 ?

  The SAP error message HRPAY00DEC011 indicates that there is a mismatch between the secondary wage type group and the base wage type group in the payroll configuration. This error typically arises during payroll processing when the system expects the secondary wage type group to be a subset of the base wage type group, but it is not.
  Cause:
  
  Configuration Issue: The secondary wage type group defined in the payroll schema is not correctly configured to be a subset of the base wage type group.
  Incorrect Assignment: The wage types assigned to the secondary wage type group may not correspond to those in the base wage type group.
  Custom Modifications: If there have been custom modifications or enhancements to the payroll schema, they may have inadvertently caused this inconsistency.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Configuration:
  
  Go to the SAP Customizing Implementation Guide (IMG) and navigate to the payroll settings.
  Verify the configuration of wage type groups under Payroll > Wage Types > Define Wage Type Groups.
  Ensure that the secondary wage type group is correctly defined and that all wage types in it are also included in the base wage type group.
  
  
  
  Adjust Wage Type Groups:
  
  If the secondary wage type group is not a subset, you may need to adjust the wage types included in either the base or secondary wage type groups to ensure compliance.
  You can do this by adding or removing wage types as necessary.
  
  
  
  Review Payroll Schema:
  
  Check the payroll schema (e.g., PCRs) to ensure that the logic correctly references the wage type groups.
  Make sure that the processing logic does not inadvertently exclude necessary wage types.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, run a test payroll to ensure that the error does not reoccur.
  Monitor the payroll results to confirm that the wage types are being processed correctly.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or notes related to wage type configuration and payroll processing for any additional insights or updates.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may use transaction codes like PE01 (to maintain payroll schemas) and V_T512W (to view wage type groups) for configuration checks.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address known issues or provide guidance on wage type configuration.
  Testing Environment: Always perform changes in a development or testing environment before applying them to production to avoid disruptions.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the HRPAY00DEC011 error and ensure that your payroll processing runs smoothly.
