How To Fix HRPAYDESV091 - Incoming notification already exists

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: HRPAYDESV - Error Messages Germany Payroll, Social Insurance

• Message number: 091

• Message text: Incoming notification already exists

What causes this issue?

An inbound notification was assigned to the target system (current
system or client) through an RFC connection and was transferred to that
system. However, the inbound notification already exists there.

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

System Response

This is an information message.
The inbound notification in the target system remains unchanged. The
time stamp of the status indicator is merely changed.

How to fix this error?

This situation can only occur if a timeout occurred in a previous
assignment, which means the inbound notification in the initial system
still has status <LS>Received</>, but processing in the target system
was not completed properly and the inbound notification was saved after
a timeout. The next time the notification assignment report is started,
the inbound notification is transferred again because it still has
status <LS>Received</>.
Check the log of the notification assignment report to see whether
another timeout occurred. If necessary, extend the wait time on the
selection screen.
