• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message HRPAY00DEC012 - Secondary wage type groups &1 and &2 overlap ?

  The SAP error message HRPAY00DEC012 indicates that there is an overlap between two secondary wage type groups in the payroll processing. This typically occurs when the configuration of wage types in the payroll schema does not allow for the proper separation of wage types, leading to conflicts in how they are processed.
  Cause:
  
  Overlapping Wage Type Groups: The error arises when two secondary wage type groups are defined in such a way that they overlap in terms of the wage types they include. This can happen if the same wage type is assigned to both groups or if the groups are configured to cover the same range of wage types.
  Incorrect Configuration: The configuration of wage types in the payroll schema may not be set up correctly, leading to conflicts during payroll processing.
  Data Entry Errors: There may be errors in the employee master data or payroll results that cause the system to interpret the wage types incorrectly.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Review Wage Type Configuration:
  
  Go to the configuration settings for wage types in the SAP system (Transaction code: SPRO).
  Navigate to Payroll > Wage Types > Define Wage Type Groups.
  Check the definitions of the secondary wage type groups involved in the error and ensure that they do not overlap.
  
  
  
  Adjust Wage Type Assignments:
  
  If you find that the same wage type is assigned to both groups, you will need to reassign it to only one of the groups.
  Ensure that the wage types included in each group are distinct and do not cover the same ranges.
  
  
  
  Check Payroll Schema:
  
  Review the payroll schema to ensure that the processing logic does not inadvertently cause overlaps.
  Make sure that the processing of wage types is clearly defined and that there are no conflicting rules.
  
  
  
  Validate Employee Data:
  
  Check the employee master data for any inconsistencies or errors related to wage type assignments.
  Ensure that the payroll results do not contain any erroneous entries that could lead to this error.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary adjustments, run a test payroll to ensure that the error does not occur again.
