• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RTP220 - Contribution limits not defined for type &1 - &2 ?

  The SAP error message RTP220, which states "Contribution limits not defined for type &1 - &2," typically occurs in the context of payroll processing, particularly when dealing with contributions to social security, health insurance, or other similar benefits. The error indicates that the system cannot find the defined contribution limits for a specific type of contribution (indicated by &1) and a specific period (indicated by &2).
  Cause:
  
  
  Missing Configuration: The most common cause of this error is that the contribution limits for the specified type have not been configured in the system. This could be due to a new type of contribution being introduced or changes in legislation that have not been updated in the system.
  
  
  Incorrect Period: The error may also arise if the specified period does not have valid contribution limits defined. This can happen if the limits are set for a different time frame or if the period is incorrectly specified in the payroll run.
  
  
  Data Entry Errors: There may be data entry errors in the employee master data or payroll settings that lead to the system not being able to find the correct contribution limits.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Define Contribution Limits:
  
  Go to the relevant configuration area in SAP (usually under the Payroll or Benefits module).
  Navigate to the section where contribution limits are defined (e.g., for social security, health insurance, etc.).
  Ensure that the contribution limits for the specified type and period are correctly defined. This may involve entering new limits or updating existing ones.
  
  
  
  Check Period Settings:
  
  Verify that the payroll period being processed is correctly set up and that the contribution limits are applicable for that period.
  If necessary, adjust the payroll period or the limits to ensure they align.
  
  
  
  Review Employee Data:
  
  Check the employee master data to ensure that the correct contribution type is assigned to the employee.
  Make sure that there are no discrepancies in the employee's payroll settings that could lead to this error.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP support team for specific instructions related to your version of SAP and the configuration of contribution limits.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, run a test payroll to ensure that the error does not reoccur.
