• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message HRPAYBR99080 - Competence < 10/1998 Social Welfare collect code should be equal to 3 ?

  The SAP error message HRPAYBR99080 typically relates to issues in the Brazilian payroll processing, specifically concerning the social welfare contributions. This error indicates that the competence (the period for which the payroll is being processed) is set to a date before October 1998, and the social welfare collection code should be equal to 3 for that period.
  Cause:
  
  Competence Date: The error arises when the payroll processing date (competence) is set to a period before October 1998. In Brazil, changes in social welfare regulations were implemented around this time, and the system expects specific handling for periods before and after this date.
  Social Welfare Code: The social welfare collection code is not set correctly for the specified competence. For periods before October 1998, the system expects this code to be 3, which corresponds to a specific type of social welfare contribution.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Competence Date: Ensure that the competence date you are processing is correct. If you are processing payroll for a period before October 1998, you need to ensure that the social welfare collection code is set to 3.
  Adjust Social Welfare Code: If you are processing payroll for a period before October 1998, you may need to adjust the social welfare collection code in the employee's payroll data to reflect the correct value (3).
  Review Configuration: Check the configuration settings in the SAP system related to social welfare contributions. Ensure that the settings for periods before and after October 1998 are correctly defined.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources specific to Brazilian payroll processing for detailed guidance on handling social welfare contributions.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide updates to the payroll processing logic.
  Legal Changes: Be aware of any legal changes in Brazilian payroll regulations that may affect how social welfare contributions are calculated and reported.
  Testing: If changes are made to the configuration or employee data, conduct thorough testing to ensure that payroll calculations are accurate and compliant with local regulations.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with an SAP HR specialist or your organization's SAP support team for further assistance.
