Payroll Correction Flag in Transaction PU03 can’t be changed

If an emplyee has a flag for payroll correction set (which, amongst other things, means you can’t exit the payroll in transaction PA03), you should be able to delete this flag using the button „Delete Payroll Correction“ in transaction PU03. However, as a side-effect of note 1807687, this is not working any more once this note is implemented.

The flag disappears on the screen in PU03, but re-appears again, as soon as you check back. The reason is that the corresponding table entry in T52MCW hasn’t really been deleted.

You can easily correct the issue by applying SAP note 1865040. Alternatively you can wait for the November HR support package and help users by amending table T52MCW, if you have access to tools to directly change the table content.

Note: no matter how you do it: when you change this flag manually, you really should know, what you are doing: as per the normal process this employee would need to be recalculated for the current period and you are interfering with this logic.

    This flagged is marked due to error that occurred during payroll run. employee automatically shown to incorrect personnel number @ payroll control record PA03.

    As per standard process, after employee data correction, matchcode W option suppose to use during payroll run to correct the payroll records for all incorrect employees.

    But as shortcut, we use to delete the flag. ;)

    Thank you,

    Tausif.

      Thank you very much for your contribution, Tausif.

      You are absolutely right. This should only be used in for exceptions and when you the users really know what they are doing. That’s why PU03 should onle be open to key users with sufficient training.

      The problem all customers with the note level mentioned where facing was that this feature didn’t work any more at all – and that was down to an error from SAP, which can be corrected as stated above.

      kind regards
      Sven
