• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RP841 - Ind.Val. wage type &1: Currency &2 does not match infotype currency &3 ?

  The SAP error message RP841 indicates a mismatch between the currency of a wage type and the currency defined in the relevant infotype. This typically occurs during payroll processing or when updating employee master data.
  Cause:
  The error arises when:
  
  A wage type (e.g., a specific payment or deduction) is defined in a currency that does not match the currency specified in the employee's infotype (e.g., Infotype 0001 for Organizational Assignment or Infotype 0008 for Basic Pay).
  The employee's master data has been set up with a different currency than what is being used for the wage type in the payroll run.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Infotype Data:
  
  Go to the employee's master data (transaction PA20 or PA30).
  Check the relevant infotypes (like 0001 and 0008) to see what currency is set for the employee.
  Ensure that the currency in the infotype matches the currency of the wage type being processed.
  
  
  
  Check Wage Type Configuration:
  
  Use transaction code PE01 or SPRO to access the wage type configuration.
  Verify the currency settings for the wage type in question. Ensure that it is configured to use the same currency as the employee's infotype.
  
  
  
  Adjust Payroll Configuration:
  
  If necessary, adjust the payroll configuration to ensure that the wage types are correctly mapped to the appropriate currencies.
  
  
  
  Data Consistency:
  
  Ensure that there are no inconsistencies in the employee's data. If the employee has been transferred from one company code to another, ensure that the currency settings are updated accordingly.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, run a test payroll to ensure that the error does not occur again.
