Help Document

Diagnosis

You are working with active integration between Personnel Planning and HR Master Data. Therefore, you must consider the effects of your transaction on PA Master Data.

System Response

Your entries change data for the specified personnel number that are so far in the past, they extend beyond the earliest retroactive accounting period.

Table T582A allows you to enter data for a period prior to the earliest retroactive accounting period, which prevents retroactive accounting from being triggered.

The earliest retroactive accounting period for the payroll area to which the person belongs is defined in table T569V. The earliest personal retroactive accounting date is read from master data infotype 0003 "Payroll Status".

These entries could also result in data changes that extend beyond the earliest retroactive accounting period for personnel numbers other than those included in the notification.

Procedure

Ensure that changes to the Organizational Assignment infotype are really not intended to trigger retroactive accounting.
