COBRA issue

Question

Cobra event was collected(HRBENUSCOB01) for an employee (period=current year). However, at the letter generation(HRBENUSCOB02)  the selection period (current year) was missed and the letter generation screen showed for 01/01/1800 to 12/31/9999 and had hundreds of employees in buffer...How can we fix this issue and  not generate letter for all these employeees. Any advise is greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

Probabaly you got a fix by now.
The buffer is created at the time of runnign cob01 action and not after cob02.
If buffer has more enties it is due to cob01 ran for all period and for al employees.
The buffer can be maintained via se16. Check your authorizations.
Sort on QE date and select only EEs who have events until the day of processing form ths table
and use for COBRA02.
You may also try deletin gteh future dated events in development or testing environment for a couple of PERNRs
and try rerun COBRA01 and COBRA02 etc. If every thign works fine then you may delete the records for events for future and run again COB01 restricted. Please note this buffer was non editable originally and SAP opened thsi buffer for editing later but customers are responsible for any inadverdant deletion etc.
hope this gives better undertsanding.
