How To Fix PG427 - Personnel number has already been accounted

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: PG - Error Messages for Master Data Programs

• Message number: 427

• Message text: Personnel number has already been accounted

What causes this issue?

The system checks whether or not the personnel number has already been
calculated, i.e. whether the date of the last evaluation run in the
<ZH>Payroll Status (0003)</> infotype is set to its initial value or
whether <ZH>payroll results</> already exist in cluster PCL2.
A personnel number that has been calculated cannot be deleted from a
productive system.

How to fix this error?

However, if you want to delete the personnel number anyway, you must
initialize the date of the last evaluation run using the <PF>Change
payroll status</> function. This is only possible if no <ZH>payroll
results</> exist in cluster PCL2.
Note: In this case, SAP assumes no responsibility for any data
inconsistencies that may result from this.
