• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message HRPAYBR_EFD036 - Wage type &1 rejected because it is inform.type and it has negat.value ?

  The SAP error message HRPAYBR_EFD036 indicates that a specific wage type (denoted as &1) has been rejected because it is classified as an "informative type" and it has a negative value. This error typically occurs in the context of payroll processing in Brazil, particularly when generating reports for the Brazilian tax authorities or for internal payroll audits.
  Cause:
  
  Informative Wage Type: The wage type in question is categorized as an informative type, which means it is intended for reporting purposes rather than for actual payroll calculations.
  Negative Value: The wage type has a negative value, which is not permissible for informative wage types. Informative wage types should only have positive values or be zero.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Wage Type Configuration:
  
  Go to the configuration of the wage type in the SAP system (transaction code SM30 or SPRO).
  Verify that the wage type is correctly defined as an informative type and check its settings.
  
  
  
  Review Payroll Results:
  
  Use transaction PC_PAYRESULT to review the payroll results for the employee in question.
  Identify why the wage type has a negative value. This could be due to adjustments, corrections, or other payroll-related entries.
  
  
  
  Adjust the Value:
  
  If the negative value is incorrect, you may need to adjust the payroll results to ensure that the wage type has a valid (positive or zero) value.
  This may involve reversing or correcting any entries that led to the negative value.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or notes related to wage types and payroll processing in Brazil to ensure compliance with local regulations.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making adjustments, run a test payroll to ensure that the error does not reoccur and that the wage type is processed correctly.
  
  
  
  Seek Help from SAP Support:
  
  If the issue persists or if you are unsure about the changes, consider reaching out to SAP support or consulting with a payroll expert familiar with Brazilian payroll regulations.
