How To Fix HRPAYNLLA446 - Leper &1 Was Terminated in Period &2, but Payroll Results in Period &3

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: HRPAYNLLA - Notifications for Wage Return NL

• Message number: 446

• Message text: Leper &1 Was Terminated in Period &2, but Payroll Results in Period &3

What causes this issue?

You have used the <ZK>Wage Return: Last Possible Tax Return Period </>
(NLLA4) feature to indicate that no current wage tax returns can be
created for legal person &1. Nevertheless, employee payroll results
exist in period &3. This could lead to errors in the wage tax return, if
the termination of a legal person is cancelled retroactively.

System Response

If you wish to terminate a legal person retroactively, be aware of the
fact that if you have already reported results for wage tax returns for
that legal person, you can still terminate the legal person
retroactively. This is subject to the condition that as from the
termination via the NLLA feature no payroll results are created for the
closed periods and no employer data is created via the Wage Return:
Update Collective Employer Data (RPUTAEN0_UPDATE) report.
For example: You have created a wage tax return for LEPER 1 until
October 2007. You then retroactively terminate LEPER 1 in wage return
period 11, making August 2006 the last wage return period. This means
that, starting from wage return period 11 (in-period), payroll results
for Leper 1 can only exist for period 8 or preceding periods. If payroll
results for later periods are entered an error message is returned. In
case of retroactive termination, previously reported IRs for the closed
periods are not reversed and you must contact the tax authorities.
It is possible to retroactively cancel the retroactive termination of a
legal person. Note that after the cancellation the IR's status at the
time of the cancellation applies.

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

set up correctly.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message HRPAYNLLA446 - Leper &1 Was Terminated in Period &2, but Payroll Results in Period &3 ?

  The SAP error message HRPAYNLLA446 indicates a payroll processing issue related to an employee's termination. Specifically, it means that the employee (denoted as &1) was terminated in a specific period (&2), but there are still payroll results recorded for that employee in a subsequent period (&3). This situation can lead to inconsistencies in payroll processing and reporting.
  Cause:
  
  Termination Date Mismatch: The employee was terminated in a specific payroll period, but payroll results exist for a later period, which should not happen if the employee is no longer active.
  Incorrect Payroll Processing: Payroll may have been processed for the terminated employee after their termination date, which is not allowed.
  Data Entry Errors: There may have been errors in entering the termination date or payroll results, leading to this inconsistency.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Termination Date: Check the employee's termination date in the system to ensure it is correctly set. The termination date should reflect the last day the employee was active.
  Check Payroll Results: Review the payroll results for the periods in question. If payroll was processed for the terminated employee after their termination date, you may need to reverse or adjust those payroll results.
  Adjust Payroll Processing: If payroll was incorrectly processed, you may need to run a retroactive payroll for the employee to correct the results. This may involve:
  
  Reversing the payroll for the periods after termination.
  Re-running payroll for the periods before termination to ensure accuracy.
  
  
  Consult with HR/Payroll Team: If you are unsure about how to proceed, consult with your HR or payroll team to ensure compliance with company policies and legal requirements.
  
  Related Information:
