  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WTADDI205 - Procedure for additionals &1 not possible in application &2 ?

    Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:


    SAP Error Message:

    WTADDI205 - Procedure for additionals &1 not possible in application &2


    Meaning / Cause:

    This error occurs in SAP Payroll when the system tries to process additional payments or deductions (additionals) using a specific procedure that is not allowed or not defined for the given payroll application.

    • &1 = The additional procedure (e.g., a specific wage type procedure or calculation procedure).
    • &2 = The payroll application (e.g., country-specific payroll application like 01 for Germany, 10 for USA, etc.).

    The system is indicating that the procedure assigned for handling additionals (such as bonuses, deductions, or other wage types) is not valid or not supported in the payroll application you are running.


    Common Causes:

    1. Incorrect Configuration of Additional Wage Type Procedures:
      The wage type procedure for additionals is not maintained or incorrectly assigned in the payroll schema or in the customizing.

    2. Mismatch Between Payroll Application and Additional Procedure:
      The payroll application (country or region-specific) does not support the additional procedure configured.

    3. Missing or Incorrect Entries in Table T512W or T512K:
      These tables control wage type procedures and their assignment to payroll applications.

    4. Incorrect Schema or PCR (Personnel Calculation Rule) Logic:
      The payroll schema or PCR might be calling an additional procedure that is not valid for the current payroll application.


    Where It Occurs:

    • During payroll simulation or payroll run when the system processes additional wage types.
    • When the payroll schema calls a procedure for additionals that is not defined for the payroll application.

    How to Check / Solution:

    1. Check Payroll Application and Additional Procedure Assignment:

      • Go to transaction SPRO ? Payroll ? Payroll: India (or your country) ? Basic Settings ? Define Wage Type Procedures.
      • Verify that the additional procedure (&1) is assigned to the payroll application (&2).
    2. Check Table T512W (Wage Type Procedures):

      • Use transaction SE16N or SE11 to view table T512W.
      • Check if the additional procedure exists and is valid for the payroll application.
    3. Check Payroll Schema and PCR:

      • Review the payroll schema (transaction PE01) and PCRs to see which additional procedure is being called.
      • Ensure that the procedure called is valid for the payroll application.
    4. Adjust Configuration:

      • If the additional procedure is missing for the payroll application, maintain it in the IMG under wage type procedures.
      • If the procedure is incorrect, correct the assignment or change the schema/PCR to call the correct procedure.
    5. Consult SAP Notes:

      • Sometimes SAP releases notes related to payroll procedures and country-specific configurations. Check SAP Support Portal for any relevant notes.

    Example:

    If the error message is:
    WTADDI205 Procedure for additionals 01 not possible in application 10

    • Procedure "01" is not valid for payroll application "10".
    • You need to either assign procedure "01" to application "10" or change the schema to use a procedure valid for application "10".

    Summary:

    Aspect Details
    Error Message WTADDI205 Procedure for additionals &1 not possible in application &2
    Cause Additional procedure not defined or allowed for the payroll application
    Solution Check and correct wage type procedure assignment in IMG, payroll schema, and PCRs
