HRPBS00CA011 - Overflow of sequence numbers for calculation module &1 on date &2

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: HRPBS00CA - HCM: Calculation Modules

• Message number: 011

• Message text: Overflow of sequence numbers for calculation module &1 on date &2

What causes this issue?

Each time a calculation module is called, a unique, two-character
sequence number is defined based on the calculation date. If a
calculation module is called more than 100 times on a particular date,
this causes an overflow of the sequence numbers.
This situation can occur if you have created a large number of future
data records for imputations in accordance with section 53 BeamtVG for
an operation that lies in the past.

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?

If possible, reduce the number of data records for the imputations by,
for example, grouping records with consecutive timestamps and identical
amounts into one overall record.
If this is not possible or if the system continues to terminate the
operation, you can reduce the pension calculation calls if a reduction
has been carried out according to section 57 of BeamtVG.
To do so, copy the record of infotype 0786 that is valid on the day that
the relevant operation comes into effect and set the start date so that
it is the same as the effective date. Specify the reduction amount valid
as this date as a manual amount. Since the operation lies significantly
more than one year in the past, it is assumed that retroactive changes
to the reduction amount that would now have to be maintained manually
exist in exceptional cases only.
If the system continues to terminate the operation, predefine the
special payment for the outgoing payment months and the special payment
block for the other months.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message HRPBS00CA011 - Overflow of sequence numbers for calculation module &1 on date &2 ?

  The SAP error message HRPBS00CA011 indicates an overflow of sequence numbers for a calculation module in the SAP HR (Human Resources) module. This typically occurs when the system has reached the maximum limit of sequence numbers that can be assigned for a specific calculation module on a given date.
  Cause:
  
  Sequence Number Limit: Each calculation module in SAP HR has a limit on the number of sequence numbers it can handle. When this limit is exceeded, the system cannot assign a new sequence number, leading to the overflow error.
  High Volume of Payroll Runs: If there are a large number of payroll runs or calculations being processed for the same date, it can quickly exhaust the available sequence numbers.
  Configuration Issues: Incorrect configuration of the payroll schema or calculation modules may lead to inefficient use of sequence numbers.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Sequence Number Usage: Review the sequence numbers that have been used for the calculation module in question. You can do this by checking the relevant payroll logs or tables.
  Adjust Payroll Configuration: If the configuration allows for it, consider adjusting the payroll schema or calculation modules to optimize the use of sequence numbers. This may involve consolidating calculations or changing the way they are processed.
  Increase Sequence Number Limit: If possible, consult with your SAP Basis or technical team to see if the limit on sequence numbers can be increased. This may involve changes in the underlying database or configuration settings.
  Run Payroll in Batches: If you are processing a large number of employees, consider running payroll in smaller batches to avoid hitting the sequence number limit.
  Consult SAP Notes: Check the SAP Support Portal for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide guidance on handling sequence number overflows.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP HR Documentation: Review the SAP HR documentation for details on payroll processing and calculation modules.
  Transaction Codes: Use transaction codes like PE51 (for payroll schema) and PC00_MXX_CALC (for payroll calculation) to analyze and troubleshoot the payroll process.
  SAP Community: Engage with the SAP Community forums for insights from other users who may have encountered similar issues.
  
  If the problem persists after trying the above solutions, it may be necessary to engage SAP support for further assistance.
