• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PSSC_GROSS042 - SSP &1 item &2 has a GED item in GED &3 ending too late ?

  The SAP error message PSSC_GROSS042 indicates that there is a problem with the timing of a GED (Gross Earnings Distribution) item in relation to the specified SSP (Statutory Sick Pay) item. Specifically, the error suggests that the GED item is ending too late compared to the SSP item, which can lead to inconsistencies in payroll processing.
  Cause:
  
  Timing Mismatch: The GED item has a validity period that extends beyond the expected end date of the SSP item. This can occur if the dates for the GED item were incorrectly set or if there were changes in the employee's status that were not reflected in the payroll data.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues in the payroll settings that dictate how GED and SSP items interact.
  Data Entry Errors: Manual data entry errors can lead to incorrect dates being assigned to GED or SSP items.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Dates: Check the validity dates of both the GED item and the SSP item. Ensure that the end date of the GED item is not later than the end date of the SSP item.
  Adjust GED Item: If the GED item is indeed ending too late, adjust its end date to align with the SSP item. This may involve changing the end date in the employee's payroll data.
  Check Configuration: Review the payroll configuration settings to ensure that they are set up correctly to handle the relationship between GED and SSP items.
  Reprocess Payroll: After making the necessary adjustments, reprocess the payroll to ensure that the changes take effect and that the error is resolved.
