• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RP374 - Enter only amount or percentage ?

  The SAP error message RP374 ("Enter only amount or percentage") typically occurs in the context of payroll processing when a user is trying to input values in a field that expects either an amount or a percentage, but not both. This error is common in scenarios where payroll calculations are being performed, such as when defining wage types or deductions.
  Cause:
  The error is triggered when:
  
  Both an amount and a percentage are entered in the same field where only one is allowed.

  Solution:
  To resolve the RP374 error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Input Fields: Review the fields where you are entering data. Ensure that you are only entering either an amount or a percentage, but not both. For example, if you are entering a deduction, you should either specify a fixed amount (e.g., $100) or a percentage (e.g., 10%), but not both.
  
  
  Clear Conflicting Entries: If you have mistakenly entered both an amount and a percentage, clear one of the entries. Decide which one is appropriate for your scenario and keep that value.
  
  
  Review Configuration: If you are a system administrator or have access to configuration settings, check the configuration of the relevant wage types or deduction types to ensure they are set up correctly. Make sure that the fields are defined to accept only the intended type of input.
