• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message HRPAYBR99157 - Competence < 10/1998 FGTS collect indicator can not be 1 (on time) ?

  The SAP error message HRPAYBR99157 is related to the Brazilian payroll system, specifically concerning the FGTS (Fundo de Garantia do Tempo de Serviço) contributions. This error indicates that there is an issue with the competence date and the FGTS collect indicator.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when the system detects that the competence date (the period for which the payroll is being processed) is before October 1998, and the FGTS collect indicator is set to 1 (indicating that the FGTS should be collected on time). Since the FGTS regulations changed after October 1998, the system does not allow the FGTS collect indicator to be set to 1 for periods prior to this date.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check the Competence Date: Verify the competence date being processed. If it is indeed before October 1998, you need to adjust the FGTS collect indicator accordingly.
  
  
  Adjust the FGTS Collect Indicator: If the competence date is before October 1998, set the FGTS collect indicator to 0 (indicating that FGTS should not be collected on time) for that specific period.
  
  
  Review Payroll Configuration: Ensure that your payroll configuration is set up correctly for handling FGTS contributions, especially for historical data. This may involve checking the payroll schema and rules related to FGTS.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to Brazilian payroll and FGTS to ensure compliance with the latest regulations and system configurations.
  
  
  Testing: After making the necessary adjustments, run a test payroll for the affected period to ensure that the error is resolved and that the FGTS contributions are calculated correctly.
