FM error message - related to payroll

[Former Member]

Hi all,

HR is getting the following error message when they run payroll: "No earmarked funds found for external document XXXX" (Message no. RE154).

Here is the explanation for this message: "You want to post a document which references earmarked funds with the external document number XXXX. The system could not find these earmarked funds."

The document number that the message refers to is neither a payroll doc number or a funds reservation/commitment document number (based on the document number range).

Has anyone seen this message before? Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance.

Dear colleague,

The reason could be:

In the variant for the data collection report

you use a data selection period , for example:

07/01/06 to 06/30/07

for method 'DAta from Payroll (PAYR)'

However, if the commitment interval is for example, 01/01/08 to 06/30/2008

Thats why no data are collected, and thats the reason for the message.

Please review the data selection period for the variant .

Let me know if this helps.

Regards, Noemí

Jose,

Thanks for your input. We recently went through an upgrade (ehp4) and i am guessing these notes are already in effect. I will check on that. If they are, then do you have any other ideas why this error may show up?

Thanks.

if they do not help, let me know your current release/sp levels so that we can see if any other note is helpful.

Hi Mar,

Our release for HR is 0027, which I am told is much more advanced than what your first note (1124767) refers to. Also, when we tried through SNOTE, it says that 'this cannot be implemented'. Going by this we are thinking that all corrections spelled out in this note are already in. Would you agree? Or do you think we should just go ahead and try implementing this note?

If you have any other notes that you think may be relevant to this issue?

Please let us know.

I appreciate your effort in trying to resolve this.

Thanks.

Hi Roger,

I am so sorry, I have not found more notes for this. Maybe there are some inconsistencies around that need to be fixed. I can suggest you to report to SAP Support so that they'll login and have a look.

let us know the outcome, please.

Kind regards

Mar
