• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message HRPBS00HD116 - Both indicators:Consider indirect val, direct valuation can't be selected ?

  The SAP error message HRPBS00HD116, which states "Both indicators: Consider indirect val, direct valuation can't be selected," typically occurs in the context of payroll processing or when configuring wage types in the SAP Human Capital Management (HCM) module. This error indicates a conflict in the configuration settings for wage types, specifically regarding the valuation methods.
  Cause:
  The error arises when both the "Consider Indirect Valuation" and "Direct Valuation" indicators are selected for a wage type. In SAP, these two valuation methods are mutually exclusive, meaning you cannot use both for the same wage type. 
  
  Direct Valuation: This method calculates the wage type based on the actual amount entered in the payroll.
  Indirect Valuation: This method calculates the wage type based on other wage types or rules defined in the system.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to check the configuration of the wage type in question and ensure that only one of the valuation methods is selected. Here are the steps to do this:
  
  
  Access the Wage Type Configuration:
  
  Go to transaction code SM30 or SM31.
  Enter the view name for wage types, typically V_T512W (Wage Type Characteristics).
  
  
  
  Find the Relevant Wage Type:
  
  Search for the wage type that is causing the error.
  Check the settings for the wage type.
  
  
  
  Adjust the Valuation Indicators:
  
  Ensure that either "Consider Indirect Valuation" or "Direct Valuation" is selected, but not both.
  Save your changes.
  
  
  
  Test the Payroll Process:
  
  After making the changes, run the payroll process again to see if the error persists.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for detailed information on wage type configuration and valuation methods.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as PE01 (Wage Type Editor) and PC00_MXX_CALC (Payroll Calculation) for further analysis.
  Support: If the issue persists after making the necessary changes, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting the SAP Community for additional insights.
