How To Fix HRPSGB_ABS032 - Offsetting Wage Type is ONLY for SMP'able or SSP'able abs. grouping

HRPSGB_ABS032 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: HRPSGB_ABS -

• Message number: 032

• Message text: Offsetting Wage Type is ONLY for SMP'able or SSP'able abs. grouping

What causes this issue?

You tried to enter a wage type in the field 'Offsetting Wage Type'
while the absence grouping (absence subtype category) does not allow
it. The absence grouping is NOT SMP'able or SSP'able and so does not
require an 'Offsetting Wage Type'.

System Response

The entry of a wage type is rejected.

How to fix this error?

Check your absence grouping and your offsetting wage type: If the first
character of the absence catagory is '.', (i.e. not SSP'able or
SMP'able) then an Offsetting Wage Type IS NOT required.
If the absence is SSP'able or SMP'able, (i.e. 'S' or 'M') an entry in
this field IS required.
