Error when posting - Call up of feature PPMOD was not successful

Question

Good Afternoon,
We recently completed an upgrade to ECC6.0 and this week we have seen two cases of receiving an error when trying to post payroll to FI using RPCIPE00.
The error we are receiving is:  Call up of feature PPMOD was not successful, Message no. 3G100
The diagnosis on the error message is:  Feature PPMOD has been called to set the employee grouping for account determination. This call was unsuccessful and suggests that we check the decision tree for PPMOD.
While there have been some somewhat recent changes to PPMOD, I have stepped through the feature for both individuals who had this error and can find no problem with the logic in the decision tree. I've also regenerated the feature successfully. After searching OSS I found note 1243065, which is the exact error that we are receiving. The problem is that this note was included in HR support pack 44, and we're already on HR support pack 48. We also found a post that suggested we use RPCIPE00_OLD, but gave us the same error.
My next step was to post a customer message, but thought it would be worthwile to post something here and see if anyone has any suggestions first.
Thanks in advance,
-Nick

Answer 1

The issue may not be related to the note you indicated as this note should already be included in your system with SP 48. Please check what personnnel areas the errors ees are in, and see if they're in the decision tree of 'PPMOD' .
If this looks OK, run payroll simulation for the error ee, put break-point in form 'CALL_549B' of program '/1PAPA/FEAT310PPMOD' and see what value STRUC-WERKS  (pers. area) is when it fails.
