How to fix this error?

For the income type series 200 and 300 (for example, 201 - 237..., 308
-310 ...), you can compensate negative deltas from retro period (FPRUN)
by increasing amount of suitable income in retro period and zeroing
negative income code amount. For current period, by reducing the same
income code which was increased.
Based on IR instructions, it recommended to combine income types with
same contributions (like pension contribution, accident insurance...).
In case of insufficient funds or if overpayment cannot be deducted in
total within next normal payroll run, the Unjust Enrichment / Recovery
is automatically created if the payment is processed in-period without
retros for-period.
To comply with IR instruction, the base for taxation should be adjust
accordantly. Please read IR instruction for Correcting data in the
Incomes Register.
If the payment is processed retro (FRRUN) within current pay run
(INRUN), you can create Manual Unjust Enrichment retro pay period
(FRRUN) by correction wage type and map it properly into income type
(VC_T7FIIR - with Manual Unjust Enrichment selection).
This must be corrected in payroll run before you close the payroll area
for the current period!
<ZH>SAP solution automatically performs only compensation for matching
income</>.
Overpayment as advance pay
If Unjust Enrichment and Recovery cannot be automatically created or you
want to avoid automated UE/RE process, you can correct pay result by
corrective wage types in IT15 Additional Payments.
Wage type must be mapped to appropriate income type (VC_T7FIIR with
Manual overpayment - income type pos/ neg and Manual overpayment -
income type zero)
Wage types for increasing the amount of income type and to zero the
negative amount of income type is recorded to the pay period which
Replacement should be created.
Wage type to decrease the amount of income type is always recorded to
the current pay period and only processed within current pay run.
execute payroll calculation again
execute KATRE reporting process
As result, KATRE reporting will create Replacement to the period where
corrective wage type is found, and the amount of income type is
increased. For current period, New report is created, and the amount of
income type is decreased.
Manual Unjust Enrichment
In case that there is insufficient amount available in current period,
you should handle this situation with Unjust Enrichment & Recovery. You
can:
put corrective wage type to payroll period where some positive amount
was reported in the past. This can trigger retro payroll calculation.
For some cases, you will need to distribute it across multiple periods.
execute payroll calculation again
execute KATRE reporting process
As result, KATRE reporting will create Replacement with Unjust
enrichment in the period when corrective wage type is found. Recovery
for same amount is created to current period. If amount of Unjust
enrichment is enough, negative delta should not be reported again.
Corrective wage type
Wage type must be mapped to appropriate income type (VC_T7FIIR with
Manual Unjust Enrichment checkbox) which is negative.
It should be entered with positive amount.
To comply with IR instructions, the base for taxation should be
corrected (/106 Taxable gross amount)
Automatic UE
In case that negative amounts are detected, and above steps were not
performed, Unjust Enrichment & Recovery is automatically generated like
in previous version.
