Help Document

Diagnosis

The payment method is missing for entry of table BT (Payment Information) in payroll result .

System Response

Note
In some country versions, such as the German country version, the employee is not rejected by the preliminary program DME. Instead, the preliminary program DME merely skips the entry in table BT (Payment Information) that it cannot process because the payment method is missing.

Procedure

This error can occur in two situations:

  1. The payment information, which was stored by the system in the incorrect entry of table BT (Payment Information) when the payroll ran, is stored in the affected employee's master data. If this is the case, you must correct the payment information in the master data and then repeat the payroll run for the employees concerned.
  2. The payment information, which was stored by the system in the incorrect entry of table BT (Payment Information) when the payroll ran, is stored as payee keys in Customizing. If this is the case, you must correct the payment information in Customizing.

The following applies to both situations:
