• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message HRPBSDEVAVG001 - Another employer already exists with a different calculation type ?

  The SAP error message HRPBSDEVAVG001 indicates that there is a conflict in the payroll processing for an employee because another employer already exists with a different calculation type. This typically occurs in the context of payroll processing in SAP HR (Human Resources) when the system detects that there are multiple employer records for the same employee, but with differing calculation types.
  Cause:
  
  Multiple Employer Records: The employee may have been assigned to multiple employers in the system, and these employers have different payroll calculation types (e.g., one might be set for monthly payroll while another is set for bi-weekly).
  Incorrect Configuration: There may be a configuration issue in the payroll settings that allows for conflicting employer records.
  Data Entry Errors: Manual data entry errors could lead to the creation of duplicate employer records with different calculation types.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Employer Records: Check the employee's records in the system to identify any duplicate employer entries. You can do this by navigating to the relevant infotype (e.g., IT0001 - Organizational Assignment) and reviewing the employer details.
  Correct Calculation Types: Ensure that the calculation types for the employers are consistent. If an employee should only be associated with one employer, remove or correct the conflicting employer record.
  Data Cleanup: If there are unnecessary or incorrect employer records, consider cleaning up the data by deleting or archiving the conflicting records.
  Consult Configuration: If the issue persists, consult with your SAP HR configuration team to ensure that the payroll settings are correctly configured and that there are no systemic issues causing the conflict.
  Testing: After making changes, run a test payroll to ensure that the error does not reoccur.
