Message text: Retroactive accounting date is before RA limit for country grouping &1



What causes this issue?

The earliest retroactive accounting date is <ZH>before</> the
retroactive accounting limit.
The date entered, which is the date up to which data is to be archived
or destroyed, cannot be used by the system to generate a meaningful
default value for the earliest retroactive accounting date.


System Response

The system uses the date <LS>Archive/Destroy Until</> to generate a
default value for the earliest retroactive accounting date. This
retroactive accounting limit must be after the earliest retroactive
accounting date that you have determined for this country in Customizing
for <LS>International Payroll</> under
<DS:SIMG.OHAX_DP_T77PARETROLIM>Define Earliest Retroactive Accounting
Date for the Destruction of Data</>.


How to fix this error?

Select the date up to which you want to archive or destroy data,
ensuring that it lies far enough in the past such that the retroactive
accounting limit determined by the system pre-dates the earliest
retroactive accounting limit.
