How To Fix HRPAYBR_EFD211 - It was not possible to set selection dates for the event &1.

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: HRPAYBR_EFD - Message class EFD-Social

• Message number: 211

• Message text: It was not possible to set selection dates for the event &1.

What causes this issue?

To locate the events that must have their selection dates adjusted, the
system works in different ways:
In the SAP standard remuneration events, the system locates the relevant
event through the information of the <ZK>dmDev</> record that is filled
in with the personnel number and the payroll number.
In customer remuneration events, the system locates the relevant event
according to the configuration of your company to find the employee
through the <ZK>dmDev</> record.
The system did not find the personnel number for standard events, or the
employee for their own events. Therefore, it was not possible to update
the SELECTION_BEGDA and SELECTION_ENDDA fields in the T7BREFD_EVENT
table for all relevant remuneration events.

System Response

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

How to fix this error?

If you use the standard event, inform SAP about the problem by opening
an incident on the component PY-BR.
If you use your own event, adjust the SELECTION_BEGDA and
SELECTION_ENDDA fields in the T7BREFD_EVENT table.
