• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message HRPAYDEST286 - Additional contribution rate only allowed for statutory health insurance ?

  The SAP error message HRPAYDEST286, which states "Additional contribution rate only allowed for statutory health insurance," typically occurs in the context of payroll processing in SAP HR (Human Resources) when dealing with health insurance contributions in Germany.
  Cause:
  This error arises when there is an attempt to apply an additional contribution rate to a health insurance provider that is not classified as a statutory health insurance provider. In Germany, health insurance is divided into statutory (gesetzliche) and private (private) systems, and the rules governing contributions differ between these two types. The additional contribution rate is only applicable to statutory health insurance providers, and if the employee is registered with a private health insurance provider, this error will be triggered.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Employee's Health Insurance Provider:
  
  Verify the health insurance provider assigned to the employee in the SAP system. Ensure that it is a statutory health insurance provider if you intend to apply an additional contribution rate.
  
  
  
  Adjust Contribution Rates:
  
  If the employee is indeed with a statutory health insurance provider, check the configuration of the contribution rates in the system. Ensure that the additional contribution rate is correctly defined in the payroll schema.
  
  
  
  Review Payroll Configuration:
  
  Ensure that the payroll configuration for health insurance is set up correctly. This includes checking the relevant infotypes (e.g., Infotype 0077 for health insurance) and ensuring that the correct contribution types are being used.
  
  
  
  Consult with Payroll Specialist:
  
  If you are unsure about the configuration or the employee's health insurance status, consult with a payroll specialist or an SAP HR consultant who can provide insights based on the specific setup of your SAP system.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary adjustments, run a test payroll to ensure that the error does not occur again and that the contributions are calculated correctly.
