Choose an earlier archiving date for payroll

What causes this issue?

You have chosen an archiving date that the system cannot use to
calculate a meaningful default value for the retroactive accounting
limit.

System Response

The system uses the archiving date to calculate a default value for the
retroactive accounting limit. The retroactive accounting limit must
come before today's date because the date calculated by the system
(provided that it corresponds to the period start date) or the next
period start date is transferred to the employee's <LS>Payroll Status
</> infotype record (0003) as the earliest personal retroactive
accounting limit.

How to fix this error?

Choose an archiving date so far back in the past that the retroactive
accounting limit calculated by the system comes before today's date.
