• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PSSC_NET201 - Two pred. NCDs &1 / &2 are active for the same payment period &3 ?

  The SAP error message PSSC_NET201 indicates that there are two active non-contributory deductions (NCDs) for the same payment period. This situation typically arises in payroll processing when the system detects that two deductions are conflicting for the same employee and payment period.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate NCDs: The most common cause is that two non-contributory deductions have been set up for the same employee and payment period, which is not allowed.
  Configuration Issues: There may be issues in the configuration of the deduction types or the payroll schema that allow for overlapping deductions.
  Data Entry Errors: Manual entry errors during the setup of deductions or payroll processing can lead to this conflict.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review NCD Configuration: Check the configuration of the non-contributory deductions in the system. Ensure that there are no overlapping deductions for the same payment period.
  Check Employee Records: Look at the employee's payroll records to identify the two active deductions. You may need to deactivate one of them or adjust the payment periods to resolve the conflict.
  Adjust Payroll Data: If the deductions are correct but were entered for the same period by mistake, you may need to adjust the payroll data to ensure that only one deduction is active for that period.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or your organization's payroll guidelines to understand how to properly configure and manage non-contributory deductions.
