SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: PYC_FRW - Payroll Control Center Framework

• Message number: 304

• Message text: No suitable step for re-execution in process instance &1

What causes this issue?

You are trying to use the recheck function for the erroneous personnel
numbers. The recheck function includes the following features:
It re-runs process steps (typically the policy step, wherein employee
data will be checked against the assigned policies for the process) for
erroneous personnel numbers.
It re-runs the checks (the current check instance) that the erroneous
personnel numbers have failed to pass.
But for this process instance, the system does not find any steps that
need be re-executed for the recheck function.

System Response

The system re-executes the steps that meet the following conditions for
the recheck function:
Process template category is Monitoring.
The step template contains the semantic category PYD_PROV.
The data source type corresponding to the current check instance
contains the semantic category PYD_NEED.
For each semantic value of PYD_NEED, the PYD_PROV has the same semantic
value.
For example, the semantic value for both PYD_NEED and PYD_PROV is CALC.
The step template attributes "Data Source Allowed" and "Is Shadowable"
should be true.
