How To Fix HRPAY99LOAN029 - Complete repayment exists; you must first delete it

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: HRPAY99LOAN - International Payroll: Company Loans

• Message number: 029

• Message text: Complete repayment exists; you must first delete it

What causes this issue?

You want to calculate the repayment for a company loan, for which a
complete repayment (payment type 0700) already exists. For example, this
is the case if the employee leaves your enterprise in the near future
and you have already created a complete repayment for his or her
leaving date so that the loan is completely repaid before he or she
leaves.

System Response

If you were to change the repayment retroactively, the level of the
complete repayment would no longer be correct. The system therefore
does not change the existing repayment.

How to fix this error?

If you want to calculate the repayment, proceed as follows:
Delete the complete repayment.
Specify the date of the complete repayment as the end date of the
infotype record.
Choose <LS>Calculate repayment</>.
Thus, the outstanding loan balance is distributed into calculated
repayments. A complete repayment is then no longer necessary.

Procedure for System Administrators

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.
