What causes this issue?

This message is displayed when you are trying to navigate to unsupported
objects in Configuration Workbench.
If you have already used Customizing activities to create Payroll
Control Center objects, the objects that meet the following conditions
can be displayed and edited in Configuration Workbench. (In other words,
if an object does not meet all the corresponding conditions, it is not
supported in Configuration Workbench and cannot be displayed and edited
in Configuration Workbench.)
Validation rules that are process context enabled
A validation rule created in Customizing activity
<DS:SIMG.PYD_FRW_1>Define Data Source Types</> is a data source type
with the category blank or <LS>Default Category (Check Type) </>(<AB>DF
</>).
A validation rule that that meets all of the following conditions in
<LS>Assign Input Type Parameter to Data Source Type</> in the
Customizing activity is process context enabled:
It is assigned the input parameter <AB>PYP_PROC</> (Fixed selected,
Mandatory selected, No Key deselected)
It is assigned the input parameter <AB>PYP_PROC_INST</> (Fixed
deselected, Mandatory selected, No Key deselected)
No other input parameters are assigned.
Analytics charts that are process context enabled
An analytics chart created in Customizing activity
<DS:SIMG.PYD_FRW_1>Define Data Source Types</> is a data source type of
the category <LS>Key Performance Indicator</> (<AB>KP</>).
An analytics chart that meets all the following conditions in <LS>Assign
Input Type Parameter to Data Source Type</> in the Customizing activity
is process context enabled:
It is assigned the input parameter PYP_PROC (Fixed selected, Mandatory
selected, No Key deselected)
It is assigned the input parameter PYP_PROC_INST (Fixed deselected,
Mandatory selected, No Key deselected)
No other input parameters are assigned.
Analytics that only contains process-context-enabled analytics charts
An analytics created in the Customizing activity
<DS:SIMG.PYD_FRW_2>Classify Data Sources</> is a data source class of
the category <LS>KPI </>(<AB>PY_PROC_KPI</>) .
Process step templates with business logic version <LS>FP3 </>(<AB>002
</>)
A process step template can be created either in the Customizing
activity
<DS:SIMG.PYD_FRW_1>Define Data Source Types</> as a data source type of
the category <LS>Payroll Process Step Template</> (<AB>ST</>) or in the
Customizing activity
<DS:SIMG.PYC_PYP_STEP>Define Process Step Templates</> as a step
template.
A process step template that meets the following conditions is supported
in Configuration Workbench:
The process step template has the business logic version FP3 (002) in
<LS>Payroll Process Step Template Business Version</> in Customizing
activity <DS:SIMG.PYC_PYP_STEP>Define Process Step Templates</>.
Policies (or policy type, if business function HCM_LOC_CI_92 is
activated): Policies that only contain process-context-enabled
validation rules
Note that policies created in the Policy Configuration application are
read-only in Configuration Workbench.
A policy created in Customizing activity
<DS:SIMG.PYD_FRW_2>Classify Data Sources</> is a data source class of
the category <LS>Payroll Cockpit</> (<AB>PY_COCKPIT</>)
If business function <LS>Payroll Control Center - Simplified
Configuration</> (<AB>HCM_LOC_CI_92</>) is not activated, policies
(created in the Customizing activity) that only contain
process-context-enabled validation rules are supported in Configuration
Workbench.
If business function <LS>Payroll Control Center - Simplified
Configuration</> (<AB>HCM_LOC_CI_92</>) is activated, all policy types
(created in Customizing activity
<DS:SIMG.PCC_1605_SIMP_PLCTP>Define Policy Types</>) are supported in
Configuration Workbench.
Process (or process type, if business function HCM_LOC_CI_92 is
activated): Processes with business logic version <LS>FP3 </>(<AB>002
</>)
Note that processes created in the Process Configuration application are
read-only in Configuration Workbench.
If business function <LS>Payroll Control Center - Simplified
Configuration</> (<AB>HCM_LOC_CI_92</>) is not activated, processes
(created in Customizing activity
<DS:SIMG.PYC_PYP_VC_PROC>Define Processes</>) that meet all of the
following conditions are supported in Configuration Workbench:
- The process has the logic version <LS>FP3 </>(<AB>002</>) in
Customizing activity <DS:SIMG.PYC_PYP_VC_PROC>Define Processes</>.
- The process is assigned only one process template in Customizing
activity <DS:SIMG.PYC_D_PYPTE>Assign Process Templates to Processes</>.
Incompletely configured processes of logic version <LS>FP3 </>(<AB>002
</>) are also supported:
- Process without process template assignment or with multiple
assignments in Customizing activity
<DS:SIMG.PYC_D_PYPTE>Assign Process Templates to Processes</>.
- Processes with process template assignment but steps and process
context have not been generated for the processes in Customizing
activity <DS:SIMG.PCC_RPT_GEN_STEPS>Generate Process Steps</> and
<DS:SIMG.PCC_RPT_GENTOOL>Generate Process Context</>.
If business function <LS>Payroll Control Center - Simplified
Configuration</> (<AB>HCM_LOC_CI_92</>) is activated, all process types
(created in Customizing activity
<DS:SIMG.PCC_1605_SIMP_PROCTP>Define Process Types</>) are supported in
Configuration Workbench.
Unsupported objects might already be in use. For example, a validation
rule that is not process context enabled might haven been assigned to a
policy within the Customizing activities. In this case, when you want to
edit this policy in Configuration Workbench, this message is displayed.

System Response

System blocks you from navigating to the unsupported object in
Configuration Workbench.

How to fix this error?

Review your configuration to see if the dependency on the unsupported
object can be removed and, if possible, remove such unsupported object
(for example, remove the validation rule from policy) in Configuration
Workbench.
For supported objects in Configuration Workbench, make sure that the
latest feature of Payroll Control Center can be used, including but not
limited to the following:
Process Context: Process context is the context of a process, such as
payroll area, period, and the monitoring process indicator (parameter
type <AB>TPY_RES</>). Process context can be derived at run time. As of
<AB>EA-HRRXX 608 SP25</>, you can use the Generate Process Context (
<AB>PYC_GENERATE_PROCESS_CONTEXT</>) report to generate validation rules
and analytics chart (KPI) instances automatically based on process
context. This feature reduces the effort for creating recurrences
manually for each process.
Simplified Configuration: With business function <LS>Payroll Control
Center - Simplified Configuration</> (<AB>HCM_LOC_CI_92</>), the payroll
process manager can use Policy Configuration and Process Configuration
applications on the front end to create payroll processes, create
policies with relevant check types, and assign these policies to the
payroll processes flexibly based on their business needs.
These two applications allow you to create processes and policies
directly in your productive environment and use them accordingly. There
is no longer the need to transport process or policy changes from your
development environment to your productive environment. After a few
clicks, changes to process and policies are effective immediately.
Team Monitoring: As of release <AB>EA-HRRXX 608 SP60</>, two new
applications are introduced in Payroll Control Center: Team
Configuration and Team Management. These two applications enable the
automatic distribution of alerts among teams based on predefined
criteria and team collaboration between payroll process manager, team
lead, and payroll administrators.

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