How To Fix HRPAYDEE2420 - Change as of &1 results in update to IT 0012 as of &2

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: HRPAYDEE2 - Message Class ELStAM Procedure

• Message number: 420

• Message text: Change as of &1 results in update to IT 0012 as of &2

What causes this issue?

An ELStAM notification with the valid-from date &V1& exists, however the
tax year is already closed and will not be reopened. The data for the
<LS>Fiscal Data D</> (0012) infotype will only be updated from &V2&.
In the process logic, the check to see whether future infotype data that
already exists in the system can be updated is performed only
afterwards. If this is not possible due to different ELStAM data, the
message "Fiscal data after &V1& is not changed by the response on &V2&"
is also issued. The first message is therefore obsolete.

System Response

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

  Cause:
  The error is triggered when there is a conflict in the date validity of the changes being made to an employee's infotype records. Specifically, it indicates that a change made on a certain date (as of &1) is trying to update IT 0012 with a validity date that is different from the existing records (as of &2).

  Delete or Modify Conflicting Records: If necessary, you may need to delete or modify the conflicting records in IT 0012 to allow for the new change to be processed.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or your organization's HR policies to ensure that you are following the correct procedures for making changes to infotype records.
