• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RP118 - Only complete or 50% credits possible ?

  The SAP error message RP118 ("Only complete or 50% credits possible") typically occurs in the context of payroll processing, particularly when dealing with wage types and their associated credits. This error indicates that the system is unable to process a specific wage type due to the way the credits are configured or the data being processed.
  Cause:
  
  
  Wage Type Configuration: The wage type may be configured in such a way that it only allows for complete credits or a specific percentage (like 50%). If the payroll run is trying to apply a different percentage or a partial credit that does not meet these criteria, the error will be triggered.
  
  
  Data Inconsistencies: There may be inconsistencies in the employee's payroll data, such as incorrect or missing information that affects how credits are calculated.
  
  
  Payroll Schema: The payroll schema may not be set up to handle the specific conditions of the wage type, leading to conflicts during processing.
  
  
  Collective Agreements: If there are collective agreements or specific rules that dictate how credits should be applied, and the payroll run does not comply with these rules, the error can occur.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Review Wage Type Configuration: Check the configuration of the wage type in the SAP system. Ensure that it is set up correctly to allow for the intended credit percentages. You may need to adjust the settings to allow for the desired credit type.
  
  
  Check Employee Data: Review the employee's payroll data for any inconsistencies or missing information. Ensure that all necessary fields are filled out correctly and that the data aligns with the wage type requirements.
  
  
  Adjust Payroll Schema: If the payroll schema is causing the issue, you may need to modify it to accommodate the wage type and its credit requirements. This may involve working with a payroll consultant or SAP expert.
  
  
  Consult Collective Agreements: If applicable, review any collective agreements or company policies that may affect how credits are applied. Ensure that the payroll run is compliant with these agreements.
  
  
  Testing: After making any changes, run a test payroll to see if the error persists. This will help confirm whether the adjustments have resolved the issue.
