Environment
- Product: SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central
- Deductions
Reproducing the Issue
- Log in to the instance.
- Navigate to an employee profile.
- Go to Compensation > Recurring Items.
- Open History, select Edit, then Add.
- Select pay component XXX
- Attempt to add two entries with the same start date for the same pay component.
- Save and observe the error.
Cause
This is standard system-designed behavior that prevents creation of duplicate recurring pay component records for the same time period.
Resolution
- Avoid creating two Recurring Deduction/Recurring Items records with the same pay component for overlapping dates.
- If concurrent deductions are required, create or use a separate pay component specifically for the additional deduction, and add it as a new Recurring Deduction/Recurring Items record with the same dates.
