How To Fix HRPAYDEST356 - SI contribs in prev. month but no proportions: man. correction necessary

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: HRPAYDEST - Message Class: Taxes Germany

• Message number: 356

• Message text: SI contribs in prev. month but no proportions: man. correction necessary

What causes this issue?

In the payroll period before the current one, there was a negative
taxable wage or none at all (wage type /2L1 - Taxable Wage in Stmt
Per.). This means that there are no proportions /2LA, /2LB, /2LC, and
/2LD, and therefore no /26*wage types.
As a result of the current payroll period, there is a positive taxable
wage, which means that the SI contributions from the previous payroll
period must be included on the statement proportionately. However, these
are not available in the current payroll period.

System Response

How to fix this error?

Make a manual correction for the current payroll period to ensure that
the SI contributions from the previous payroll period are included on
the statement proportionately. Maintain wage types M2LE, M2LF, M2LG, and
M2LH in infotype "Additional Payment" (IT0015) to ensure that the
amounts for /26* wage types are correct in the current payroll period
(see the long text of message <DS:NA.HRPAYDEST353>HRPAYDEST353</>).
