How To Fix HRPSGB_ME_NEW014 - Tax Details are not identical on related contract &1

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: HRPSGB_ME_NEW - Multiple Employment (Re-work Into STD)

• Message number: 014

• Message text: Tax Details are not identical on related contract &1

What causes this issue?

The ME Tax Calculation checks that IT0065 (as at pay date) on the
current contract being payrolled agrees with IT0065 (as at pay date) on
all the related contracts.

System Response

One contract has failed this check (as either the Tax Basis, Tax Code or
P45 figure do not match) and so the employee as a whole has been
rejected.

How to fix this error?

Make certain that IT0065 is maintained consistently across all the
contracts of an ME.
If you have employees with active contracts and also pension payroll
contracts then these can be linked via IT0031, but they should not be
aggregated for Income Tax. So the feature 08MEL should be used to make
sure that the pension payroll is not considered as active for ME.
This will mean that those pension payroll contracts will not be checked
for a consistent IT0065.

Procedure for System Administrators

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.
