• Message class: HRPAYRULOG_PS - Payroll log for PS in HRUCALC0_CE

• Message number: 008

• Message text: Total Sum of /55C less than /562.

What causes this issue?

This occurs during preparation of Bank Transfer amounts in payroll
function RUPAY.
Distribution by KBK is not possible. Total payment in /562 is more than
the sum of its component parts in /55C.
The system detects this situation when the total payment in wage type
/562 is greater than the parts of payments in /55C. Records with wage
type /55C have an assignment to KBK and they detail from which KBK the
total amount for /562 should be. Wage type /55C is the basis for
preparation of several /559 wage types with a KBK assignment and
corresponding records in BT_PERSON.

System Response

How to fix this error?

Check the customizing and preparation of algorithm of /55C. Records come
from payroll rules RU31 and RUOP, and payroll functions RUDED and RUPAY.
RUPAY imports distribution from the previous period from wage type /55I.
