• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message HRPAYIEINFOTYPES210 - USC Rate 3 is LESS THAN USC Rate 2 ?

  The SAP error message "HRPAYIEINFOTYPES210 USC Rate 3 is LESS THAN USC Rate 2" typically occurs in the context of payroll processing, particularly when dealing with the Unemployment Compensation (USC) rates in the United States. This error indicates that the system has detected an inconsistency in the defined unemployment compensation rates for an employee.
  Cause:
  The error arises when the USC Rate 3 is set to a value that is less than USC Rate 2. In the context of unemployment compensation, the rates are usually defined in a way that Rate 3 should be equal to or greater than Rate 2. This is a logical requirement because the rates are often tiered, and a lower tier (Rate 2) should not exceed a higher tier (Rate 3).
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you will need to check and adjust the USC rates in the relevant configuration settings. Here are the steps you can follow:
  
  
  Access the Configuration:
  
  Go to the SAP Easy Access screen and navigate to the relevant configuration area for payroll. This is typically found under the following path:
  
  SPRO > IMG > Payroll > USA > Unemployment Compensation > Define USC Rates.
  
  
  
  
  
  Review the Rates:
  
  Look for the defined rates for USC. You will find the rates categorized as Rate 1, Rate 2, and Rate 3.
  Check the values assigned to USC Rate 2 and USC Rate 3.
  
  
  
  Adjust the Rates:
  
  If USC Rate 3 is indeed less than USC Rate 2, you will need to adjust the values. Set USC Rate 3 to be equal to or greater than USC Rate 2.
  Save your changes.
  
  
  
  Test the Payroll Run:
  
  After making the adjustments, run a test payroll for the affected employee(s) to ensure that the error no longer occurs.
  
  
  
  Documentation:
  
  Document the changes made for future reference and to maintain compliance with payroll regulations.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
