How To Fix HRPAYDEMUSCHG_BV142 - Change of employee subgroup grouping for calculation rule exists

HRPAYDEMUSCHG_BV142 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: HRPAYDEMUSCHG_BV - Maternity Protection Act - Prohibited Activities

• Message number: 142

• Message text: Change of employee subgroup grouping for calculation rule exists

What causes this issue?

When the employee subgroup grouping for personal calculation rules
changes in the period between calculating the average and the prohibited
activities, the automatic calculation of the adjustment amount can
result in an incorrect result. If there is no manual entry in the <LS>
Recurring Payments/Deductions</> infotype (0014) for calculating an
adjustment amount, the payroll program is terminated. For the adjustment
amounts for the variable payments, the program is terminated only if no
manual entry exists but the automatically determined average is not
equal to zero.

System Response

The payroll was terminated.

How to fix this error?

To avoid termination of the payroll program, you also manually enter the
adjustment amount (model wage types <LS>MBV3</>, <LS>MBV4</>, or <LS>
MBV5</>) or the cumulation for calculating an adjustment amount (model
wage types <LS>MBV6</>, <LS>MBV7</>, or <LS>MBV8</>) for each period of
the prohibited activities in the <LS>Recurring Payments/Deductions</>
infotype (0014).
