• Since budgets are usually percentages of Current Salary, these error messages generally appear when there is a problem with the data that contributes to the current Salary.
• Specifically it is important to look at two specific columns in your user data file to confirm that the Salary will compute correctly, this would be COMPENSATION_SAL_RATE_UNITS and SALARY

• Perform and employee export while including the compensation data. Correct any erroneous data that you find under the COMPENSATION_SAL_RATE_UNITS and SALARY. Reimport the updated user data.
• SALARY Column – Check to ensure that this is composed as only numbers and no special characters like currency signs($) or commas ",". Below highlighted is causing an issue.

     

• COMPENSATION_SAL_RATE_UNITS – Check to ensure there are only numbers and NO string characters or blank values.
