HRPAYRULOG_PS008 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• 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

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

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.
