How To Fix HRPBSDERECL030 - Related absence cannot be assigned distinctly

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: HRPBSDERECL - Messages for Pay Scale Level Increase

• Message number: 030

• Message text: Related absence cannot be assigned distinctly

What causes this issue?

In the period &V3& - &V4&, there is at least one absence linked by
indicators &V1& = &V2&, which at the same time is linked by the other
indicator with further absences. Since no distinct assignment to either
link is possible, a possible postponement of the level increase cannot
be determined automatically.

System Response

As the pay scale level start cannot be determined, the processing of the
personnel number is terminated.

How to fix this error?

Check the reclassification time and enter the desired reclassification
date in the <LS>"Next Increase"</> field (Next Incr.) of the <LS>Basic
Pay</> infotype (0008). Note that as the automatic determination of the
reclassification date for the period is then deactivated by the manual
override, you must recheck and correct the date again if necessary in
the case of a later addition (or discontinuation) of relevant absences
during the pay scale runtime.
