How To Fix PYC_FRW413 - No parent proc. instance exists with pay date &1 and pay ID &2

PYC_FRW413 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: PYC_FRW - Payroll Control Center Framework

• Message number: 413

• Message text: No parent proc. instance exists with pay date &1 and pay ID &2

What causes this issue?

The productive payroll process for planned off-cycle is the parent of
its subsequent (activities) process, for example, posting and bank
transfer.
The process instance of the subsequent (activities) process must use the
same pay date and pay ID as the process instance of the productive
off-cycle payroll process to inherit the selection of employees for
whom the process instances shall be run.
In this case, the process instance for the subsequent (activities)
process exists with the pay date and pay ID, but there is no productive
off-cycle process instance with the same pay date and pay ID. As a
result, the system cannot get the list of employees for whom the
subsequent (activities) process is to be run.
