SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: HRPAYDEPF - Error messages for German infotype module pools: garnishment

• Message number: 274

• Message text: Garnishment &1/&2: No cluster created for period &3; pers. no. not active

What causes this issue?

A cluster was created in the regular payroll run for the garnishment (
&v1&/&v2&) for the period &v3& in which the personnel number was not
active. During the cleanup process, it is not technically possible to
create a cluster for an inactive period. Since no repayments are made in
inactive periods and only repayment amounts are relevant for further
calculations, it is not necessary to perform a cleanup in these cases.
Unlike message <DS:NA.HRPAYDEPF293>293</>, however, this cluster is not
obsolete and does not therefore have to be deleted.
