• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message HRPAYFR_DSN_DUCS026 - Indicator &1 defined as non-liability indicator ?

  The SAP error message HRPAYFR_DSN_DUCS026 indicates that an indicator defined as a non-liability indicator is being used in a context where a liability indicator is expected. This error typically arises in the context of payroll processing in the SAP HR module, particularly in the French payroll (as suggested by the prefix "HRPAYFR").
  Cause:
  The error occurs when the system encounters a payroll element (such as a wage type) that is marked as a non-liability indicator, but it is being processed in a way that requires it to be treated as a liability. This can happen due to:
  
  Incorrect Configuration: The wage type or indicator may not be configured correctly in the payroll schema or in the wage type characteristics.
  Data Entry Errors: There may be incorrect data entries in the employee master data or payroll results that lead to this inconsistency.
  Payroll Schema Issues: The payroll schema may not be set up to handle the specific indicators correctly.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Wage Type Configuration:
  
  Go to the transaction code SM30 or SM31 and check the configuration of the wage type in the view V_T512W (Wage Type Characteristics).
  Ensure that the wage type is correctly defined as a liability or non-liability based on its intended use.
  
  
  
  Review Payroll Schema:
  
  Check the payroll schema (transaction code PE01) to ensure that the processing logic is correctly set up to handle the indicators.
  Look for any custom logic that may be incorrectly processing the non-liability indicator.
  
  
  
  Validate Employee Master Data:
  
  Review the employee master data (transaction code PA20 or PA30) to ensure that there are no inconsistencies or incorrect entries related to the wage types being processed.
  
  
  
  Run Payroll Simulation:
  
  Perform a payroll simulation (transaction code PC00_MXX_CALC where X is the country code) to identify where the error occurs and to test changes made.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to payroll processing for your specific country version to understand the expected behavior of liability and non-liability indicators.
  
  
  
  Seek Help from SAP Support:
  
  If the issue persists after checking the above points, consider reaching out to SAP support or consulting with an SAP HR expert for further assistance.
