Help Document

Diagnosis

You chose copy 1 wage type and then entered the three parameters to create several copies of one model wage type. But one of the wage type names you have just generated already exists in table T512W.

System Response

The entry that had an existing wage type name is not created, but all the other new entries are displayed in the table.

Example

You entered the following for the original wage type M001:

Wage type begins at 1000
Number of wage types 4
Increase per step 10

However, wage type 1020 already exists, so the system only creates three new entries in the table on the screen. These are:

Original WT Customizing WT
M001 1000
MOO1 1010
M001 1030
