Diagnosis

Neither of the fields Earliest start date (from and to) are filled. (For Statutory Maternity Pay, these fields are named MPP start possible from).

System Response

Procedure

These two fields give the earliest and latest start dates of the statutory absence. They are filled automatically by your SAP system, derived from dates already entered in the system.

Ensure all other relevant dates have been entered into the relevant infotype SMP/SAP/SPP GB (0088) subtype screens.

For example, in the case of Statutory Paternity Pay (adoption), the earliest possible start date of paternity leave is autromatically set from the expected or actual date of birth entered manually into the infotype screen.
