When you think you’ve seen it all, you find you can still be shocked finding the oldest of beginners‘ mistakes in a >1 year old standard solution at the core of UK payroll in SAP HCM. Luckily, this one is easy to correct.
If you start the EPS program in January to submit for the period from 6th December to 5th January, the programm will suggest the following period:
Funnily enough, it even allows you to submit, but then you’ll obviously get an error back going along the lines of a popular song „Return to sender – this month uinknown“ (well at least polular with the more mature generations ;-) ).
I tried a quick-fix by overwriting that data using variables in the variant, but this didn’t work, so the solution is to apply the respective SAP note 1962688. It is easily applied using the note assistant transaction SNOTE wihtout manual activities. The note was only issued last week, so is not yet included in any support packages.
If you don’t coem across this problem this month, don’t bother applying the note, as it will have been delivered through support packes be January 2015.
