Cause
The recurrence possibilities offered by SAP Business ByDesign Compensation are very flexible and it provides the following options:
- No support of recurring Compensation Component Type
- Partial support of recurring Compensation Component Type
- Complete support of recurring Compensation Component Type
But these may not be all supported by some third-party payroll providers.
If your payroll provider is DATEV and the corresponding compensation component is not supported by it, then system will show the above error message.
