• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RETJP047 - Permitted wage type is different from relevant Customizing setting ?

  The SAP error message RETJP047 indicates that there is a mismatch between the wage types being used in a payroll or personnel calculation and the settings defined in the Customizing for the relevant payroll area. This error typically arises in the context of payroll processing when the system encounters a wage type that is not permitted based on the configuration settings.
  Cause:
  
  Wage Type Configuration: The wage type being used in the payroll run is not allowed for the specific payroll area or employee group/subgroup as defined in the Customizing settings.
  Incorrect Assignment: The wage type may not be correctly assigned to the relevant employee group or subgroup in the payroll configuration.
  Changes in Customizing: Recent changes in the Customizing settings may have led to the wage type being excluded or modified, causing it to no longer be valid for the payroll run.
  Data Entry Errors: There may be errors in the master data or infotype records that lead to the use of an invalid wage type.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Customizing Settings:
  
  Navigate to the Customizing settings for payroll (Transaction SPRO).
  Go to Payroll > Payroll Area > Define Wage Types.
  Verify that the wage type in question is correctly configured for the relevant payroll area and employee group/subgroup.
  
  
  
  Review Employee Master Data:
  
  Check the employee's master data (infotypes) to ensure that the correct wage types are assigned.
  Look for any inconsistencies in the employee's payroll-related infotypes (e.g., Infotype 0008 - Basic Pay).
  
  
  
  Adjust Wage Type Assignment:
  
  If the wage type is indeed required, you may need to adjust the Customizing settings to include the wage type for the relevant payroll area or employee group/subgroup.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review any documentation or notes related to recent changes in the payroll configuration that may have affected wage type assignments.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, perform a test payroll run to ensure that the error is resolved and that the payroll process can complete successfully.
