How To Fix HRPAYUSCALC108 - Multiple tax area overrides for a personnel number

HRPAYUSCALC108 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: HRPAYUSCALC - Messages for payroll log RPCALCU0

• Message number: 108

• Message text: Multiple tax area overrides for a personnel number

What causes this issue?

Conflicting work tax areas have been entered into the time management
master data for an employee.
Example: an employee is listed in Infotype 2002 as having attended an
all day meeting (from 9AM to 6PM) on January 5, 2003, in California;
additionally, the employee is also listed in Infotype 2003 as having
worked from 2PM to 10PM in AZ on January 5. Time management returns CA
as a work tax area override from 9AM to 6PM and AZ as an override from
2PM to 10PM; these overrides are inconsistent between 2PM and 6PM.

System Response

Since any work tax area override must be unique at any given time on a
given day, payroll rejects the employee.

How to fix this error?

Correct the master data.
