How To Fix HRPAYDEMUSCHG_BV160 - Wage type &1 deleted for adjustment amount

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

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

• Message number: 160

• Message text: Wage type &1 deleted for adjustment amount

The system deletes the wage type for the adjustment amount provided the
adjustment amount for prohibited activities was entered manually (model
wage type <LS>MBV3</>).
The system deletes this wage type only during the notional run <LS>MBV4
</> (MuSchG Prohib.Act. Adjust.Amt SuppMatPay) during which it
calculates the adjustment amounts that form the basis for the maternity
pay supplement. This prevents the manual adjustment amount from being
included in the basis for the maternity pay supplement. When it
calculates the adjustment amount for the basis for the maternity pay
supplement, the system evaluates the basic pay on the future start date
of the maternity protection period. Regular basic pay is available again
on this date without the restrictions resulting from prohibited
activities and there is no basic pay (infotype <LS>0008</>) with the
subtypes <LS>DEBV</>. Therefore, it is no longer necessary to include an
adjustment amount for basic remuneration. The system deletes any
manually entered adjustment amount. In the case of an automatic
calculation, an adjustment amount is not created in this case.
