Change before earliest retro. date .. acc. to control rec. to py area MO

[former_member352490]

Anyone have any ideas about where I might look to find what is causing this error?

Using ECC6 we are trying to transfer a person from one position to another position in the same Org Unit effective 09/01/2008 but we are getting this error:

Change before earliest retro. date 09/01/2007 acc. to control rec. to py area MO

We have the Earliest Retroactive date under Payroll/Retroactive Accounting on Infotype 0003 set to 09/01/2007. Realizing that the error message means that something is trying to happen before 09/01/2007 we have search through the PA data but have been unable to find anything. We have created new objects (Job, Position) attached to the person using the dates 09/01/2008 but still get the error.

cehck the control record earliest date PA03

for the payroll control record for MO the earliest retro date might be a period with starting date 09/01/2007. This means that for this payroll area you are not allowed to make any retro calculations before this period. If you still want to enter the retro delete the control record for MO and create a new one with earliest retro period well before 09/01/2007

I thinks perhaps you are trying to change the entry in IT0001 directly which is valid 9/1/2007-12/31/9999.

Try to create a new record with 9/1/2008 instead of changing the record.

Hope this works!!
