SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: HRPSGB_ABS -

• Message number: 021

• Message text: Valuation rule is NOT allowed, if Non-Payment days are NOT specified

What causes this issue?

You have entered a Valuation Rule to 'handle' the 'Non-qualifying'
days. However you have not entered a Period Work Schedule Rule to
specify Qualifying and Non-qualifying days for 'payment' , which is
mandatory for Absence Evaluation Scheme processing, if a Valuation Rule
has been entered.

System Response

Without either a Period Work Schedule Rule, the Valuation Rule must be
left blank. The Valuation Rule is not blank, so report an error.

How to fix this error?

Either enter a Period Work Schedule Rule or blank out the Valuation
Rule. If the correct Period Work Schedule Rule is not available to be
used here, then Standard Customising should be used in IMG to create a
suitable Period Work Schedule Rule.

This error typically arises in the SAP Human Capital Management (HCM) module, particularly in the area of absence valuation.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when the system is trying to process an absence record, but the valuation rule defined for that absence type does not allow for the absence to be processed without specifying non-payment days.

  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:

  Ensure that the absence type in question has the correct valuation rule assigned.
  
  
  
  Specify Non-Payment Days:

  Review Valuation Rules:
  
  Check the valuation rules associated with the absence type. Make sure that the rules are set up correctly to handle cases where non-payment days are not specified.

  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, test the absence entry again to ensure that the error no longer occurs.
