Error Pay scale grpg for allowances for 02002162 is not defined on 20110408

Question

Hi,
I do get the above error Pay scale grpg for allowances for &1 is not defined on &2 when running program RHECM_UPD_0008_FROM_1005 for Indian employees. I know that we have indirect evaluation for our Indian employees in it0008. And we do not have 'Define Pay scale grouping for allowances' (V_T7INA1) and 'Pay scale grouping for allowances' (V_T7INA3) configured for India. But then we are also not using payroll for India.
Most strange is, that the program runs just fine in the development system for a India test employee record, whereas it fails to run in the test system for a real live India employee.
The error message code is HRPADIN01 084 and is thrown by function module HR_ECM_INSERT_INFOTYPE. But since it;s code is all object oriented I'm getting terribly lost when trying to observe in debug mode what the actual problem is. When running the program I use planned comp. type 'S' (Salary Structure)
Employees in all other countries update just fine, and the planned compensation infotype on the employee's job code look fine also.
Would appreciate your help please as for what could be causing this error!
Thanks,
Philipp

Answer 1

P.S. I have now maintained some test entries in V_T7INA1 and V_T7INA3 that match my employee's infotype 0008 entry. This does not make a difference unfortunately though. During debugging I found the message is raised in method CL_HRPA_INFOTYPE_0008_IN/CHECK_WAGETYPES_IN and within that method GET_ALGRP and then cl_hrin_services=>read_algrp.
In the method that reads t7ina3 the code is:
method READ .                                                                               
IF NOT ( a_is_buffered = true  AND                 
           a_t7ina3-molga  = molga AND               
           a_t7ina3-trfgb  = trfgb AND               
           a_t7ina3-trfar  = trfar AND               
           a_t7ina3-trfkz  = trfkz AND               
           a_t7ina3-trfgr  = trfgr AND               
           a_t7ina3-trfst  = trfst ).                
    CLEAR a_t7ina3.                                  
    a_t7ina3-molga = molga.                          
    a_t7ina3-trfgb = trfgb.                          
    a_t7ina3-trfar = trfar.                          
    a_t7ina3-trfkz = trfkz.                          
    a_t7ina3-trfgr = trfgr.                          
    a_t7ina3-trfst = trfst.                          
    SELECT SINGLE * FROM t7ina3 INTO a_t7ina3        
      WHERE                                          
        molga = molga AND                            
        trfgb = trfgb AND                            
              trfar = trfar AND              
              trfkz = trfkz AND              
              trfgr = trfgr AND              
              trfst = trfst.                 
          a_subrc = sy-subrc.                
          a_is_buffered = true.              
        ENDIF.                                                                               
IF a_subrc IS INITIAL.               
          t7ina3 = a_t7ina3.                 
        ELSE.                                
          CLEAR t7ina3.                      
        ENDIF.                                                                               
endmethod.                             
In there a_t7ina3 is filled initially (but interestingly field algrp is the only one that is blank). But since it is filled and matches the if not condition it does not go and select from the DB but clears t7ina3 and thus runs into the error afterwards.
Ideas anyone?
Thanks,
