Message type: E = Error
Message class:  HRPAYDEMUSCHG_BV - Maternity Protection Act - Prohibited Activities 
Message number: 139
Message text: Retro. acctg date &1 is before earliest permitted retroactive acctg &2
For the automatic calculation of an adjustment amount for a prohibited
activity, it is necessary to perform retroactive accounting on a period
3 months before the start of the pregnancy.
If an earliest personal retroactive accounting is set in the infotype
<LS>Payroll Status</> (0003) or if an earliest period for retroactive
accounting is specified (&V2&) according to the payroll management
record and the start of the assessment period is before this date, you
cannot perform the necessary retroactive accounting (&V1&).
The payroll was terminated due to the missing cumulation (&V3&).
To avoid termination of the payroll program, you have to manually enter
all relevant wage types for each period of the prohibited activities in
the infotype <LS>Recurring Payments/Deductions</> (0014).
Examples:
In the case of wage type <LS>/6H0</> ("Cumul. Basic Remun. ProA"), you
have to enter the basic remuneration of the adjustment amount (sample
wage type <LS>MBV3</>) manually or enter the cumulation of the basic
remuneration (sample wage type <LS>MBV6</>).
In the case of wage type <LS>/6H1</> ("Cumul. Var. Paymt ProA"), you
have to enter the variable payments (sample wage type <LS>MBV4</>)
manually or enter the cumulation of the variable payments (sample wage
type <LS>MBV7</>).
In the case of wage type <LS>/6H2</> ("Cumul. Contr.VP/LSP ProA"), you
have to enter the share of the variable payments for leave and sick pay
supplement (sample wage type <LS>MBV5</>) manually or enter the
cumulation of the share of the variable payments for leave and sick pay
supplement (sample wage type <LS>MBV8</>).
Due to the retroactive accounting lock, it is no longer possible to
determine the adjustment amount automatically.
