SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: HRPAYCH01 - Messages for Payroll Switzerland

• Message number: 013

• Message text: No. of children entitled to bonuses IT 0021 and scale do not match

What causes this issue?

The report for creating the withholding tax accounting data according to
the EMP-ACI standard determines the number of children based on the
withholding tax scale. The system also checks whether this value matches
the number of children entitled to bonuses in the <LS>Family/Related
Person</> infotype (0021).
For the current payroll period, the number of children entitled to
bonuses, as specified in infotype 0021, does not correspond to the
number for the selected withholding tax scale.

System Response

The number of children according to the withholding tax scale is used in
withholding tax accounting (see <DS:SIMG.PAY_CH_QSTVD_0030> Assign
Withholding Tax Scale to Scale Code for XML File</>).

How to fix this error?

Check the number of children entitled to bonuses in infotype 0021. Have
you entered all of the children entitled to bonuses? Are children still
specified who no longer receive bonuses because you have restricted the
allowance entitlement in Customizing?
<ZH>Note:</> In this evaluation, the system does not take into account
allowance entitlement restrictions that you have specified in
Customizing (for example, that children older than 25 no longer receive
bonuses). We recommend that you delimit the data records of infotyp 0021
in such cases so that the <LS>Allowance Entitlement</> field displays
the correct status.

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