How To Fix HRPAYBR_EFD034 - Wage type valuation basis &1 has a negative result.

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: HRPAYBR_EFD - Message class EFD-Social

• Message number: 034

• Message text: Wage type valuation basis &1 has a negative result.

What causes this issue?

The system always considers that the valuation basis of a wage type has
a value above 100. However, the eSocial must report only the value that
exceeds 100, always deducting 100 from the valuation basis. Therefore,
the valuation basis can have a negative value in the eSocial processing.
For example, the valuation basis of an overtime wage type is 150,
because it specifies a surcharge of 50% of the salary for overtime. In
this case, the eSocial reports 50% and deducts 100 of the basis.

System Response

The system does not stops the sending processing, but it sets to zero
the wage type value because the eSocial does not allow wage types with
negative results.

How to fix this error?

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