How To Fix HRPBSDE5Z061 - Increase-relevant bonuses without workdays

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: HRPBSDE5Z - Public Sector Payroll - Germany

• Message number: 061

• Message text: Increase-relevant bonuses without workdays

What causes this issue?

The total of the increase-relevant remuneration elements in the
calculation period is &V1& &V2&. However, the period is reduced by &V3&
workdays, so that no workdays are left in the period in which such
payments can be earned. Therefore, the calculation of the averages
results in an error (divide by zero).
The situation can occur, for example, when there are 66 workdays in a
three month period, of which 65 are days off. In this case, the 65
absence days are deducted from 65 (constant according to protocol
declaration 2 of clauses 2 and 3 of ? 21 TVoeD/TV-L) and 0 workdays
remain. Nevertheless, increase-relevant payments can be due on the
remaining 66th day.
If this situation does not apply, the settings of the absence(s) in the
calculation period might be incorrect.

How to fix this error?

In the case of the special case described above, you need to specify the
increase rate manually.

Procedure for System Administrators

If the cause of the error is not the described special case, check the
settings for the absences in the valuation period.
