• Message text: Explanation of assignment of ER allowance modules to basis modules

Tables <LS>'Assignment of ER All. Modules to Basis Modules Acc. to
Customizing'</> and '<LS>Assignment of ER Allowance Modules to
Remuneration Conversion Modules'</> show the employer allowance modules
and the assigned base modules on which the compulsory employer's
allowance due to saved social insurance contributions is paid:
Priority of the infotype record that contains the ER allowance module:
If no priority has been entered in the infotype record, the module
receives the lowest priority (Z).
ER allowance module (Key: investment type, object ID, Tax No., module)
Type of Calculation
Base module (Key: investment type, object ID, Tax No., Bas. Mod.), that
subsidizes the ER allowance module
Entry stating whether or not the type of calculation requires a
fictitious run
The ER allowance module is always financed by the employer, while the
base module is always financed by the employee.
Table <LS>'Assignment of ER All. Modules to Basis Modules Acc. to
Customizing'</> display the base modules that should subsidize an ER
allowance module according to Customizing. It may still contain lines
with ER allowance modules that do not calculate any allowance.
If a line of table '<LS>Assignment of ER Allowance Modules to
Remuneration Conversion Modules'</> does not contain any base module,
the ER allowance module does not calculate any allowance either. This
may be the case if, for example, the relevant base module does not
convert any remuneration in the payroll period or has already been
subsidized by another ER allowance module.
The base modules are assigned to the ER allowance modules in three steps
whereby each base module may only be subsidized once:
RESET N1
The contracts with ER allowance modules are sorted according to
priority, investment type, and sequential number. ER allowance modules
with a high priority, therefore, tend to receive a base module.
The sorted ER allowance modules search for base modules that are in the
same contract.
The sorted ER allowance modules search for base modules that belong to
the required basic investment type.

How can this happen?

<ZU>Priority</><ZG> </><ZU>ER allowance modules</><ZG> </><ZU>Type
Calc.</><ZG> </><ZU>Base module</><ZG> </><ZU>Fictitious run</>
1<ZG> </>PK 01 AGZ1<ZG> </>PFIX<ZG> </>DV 01 GLF1
Z<ZG> </>PK 02 AGZ1<ZG> </>PFIX<ZG> </>
The ER allowance module AGZ1 from the contract with investment type PK
and sequential number (object ID) 01 subsidizes base module GLF1 from
the contract with investment type DV and the sequential number (object
ID) 01.
The allowance calculation is done according to calculation type <ZK>
Fixed Percentage Rate</> (PFIX), which does not require any fictitious
run for the allowance calculation. Infotype record PK 01 has the highest
priority.
ER allowance module AGZ1 from the contract with investment type PK and
sequential number (object ID) 02 does not subsidize any base module.
Infotype record PK 02 has a lower priority than infotype record PK 01.
Therefore, ER allowance module AGZ1 from PK 01 subsidizes base module
GLF1 and not AGZ1 from PK 02.

HRPAYDEAVMG251 - Details

• The SAP error message HRPAYDEAVMG251 typically relates to issues in the assignment of allowance modules to basis modules in the context of payroll processing within the SAP HR (Human Resources) module. This error can occur when there is a misconfiguration in the payroll schema or when the necessary relationships between different payroll components are not properly defined.
  
  Cause:
  
  
  Configuration Issues: The error often arises from incorrect or incomplete configuration in the payroll schema. This could involve missing assignments or incorrect settings in the payroll processing configuration.
  Module Assignment: The allowance modules (e.g., bonuses, allowances) may not be correctly assigned to the corresponding basis modules (e.g., basic pay, deductions).
  Customizations: If there are custom payroll schemas or modules, they may not be properly integrated with the standard modules, leading to assignment issues.
  Data Inconsistencies: Inconsistent or incorrect employee master data or payroll data can also trigger this error.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Configuration: Review the payroll schema configuration in the
