How To Fix WJ215 - Procedure for additionals &2 is not allowed for additional &1

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: WJ - Additionals

• Message number: 215

• Message text: Procedure for additionals &2 is not allowed for additional &1

What causes this issue?

You are creating <GL:additional>additionals</>. The combination of
additional &V1& and <GL:procedure_for_additionals>procedure for
additionals</> &V2& that you have entered is not permitted.
The system determined the <GL:material_group>material group</> to which
the additional belongs and then checked whether the procedure for
additionals that you entered is allowed with this material group. This
was not the case.
This check is run to prevent illogical procedures being defined for an
additional, as for example:
Requesting a vendor to affix a shelf-edge label. This is usually
carried out by the stores themselves.
Requesting a store to sew garment care labels into T-shirts.

How to fix this error?

Check whether additional &V1& really is to be affixed to the
merchandise using the procedure you entered (&V2&).
If you do wish to use this combination, you will need to maintain the
relevant assignment in Customizing first.

  Additional wage types in SAP HR (Payroll) can have procedures assigned to them to control how they are processed during payroll.
  The system checks whether the procedure you are trying to assign or use is valid for the specific additional wage type.
  If the procedure is not allowed for that additional wage type, the system issues this warning.
  
  
  Explanation of the Message Variables:
  
  &1 = Additional wage type number or identifier
