We are getting this error when we are running a program to upload the sickness description in PA2001, we are getting the following error: 

Counting rule 08/1/00/.. does not exist

What are the step by step config to be carried out in T554c to resolve this error?

Solution:

Your config is:

EE Sub Group Grouping: 8

Pers Subarea Grouping: 1

Counting Rule: 00

1. Check T556C if Counting Rule 00 exists for EE Sub Group Grpg 8 & Pers Subarea Grpg 1.

2. If Deduction of Quota is applicable, See if the Deduction Rule is configured & assigned in this table:

SPRO -> Time Management -> Time data recording administration -> Managing time accounts using attendance/absence quotas -> Quota deduction using attendances/absence quotas -> Assign decution rules to counting rules

3. Also, check if the Counting Rule 00 is assigned to the Absence in T554S. Also check the Validity dates in these tables.

SM30 - Table T554S
-> Double click item line to see the configuration details,

Notes:

Verify whether have you assigned your counting rule to the Absence type:

SPRO -> Time Management -> Time data recording administration -> Absences -> Absence catalog -> Absence counting -> Rules for absence counting (old) -> Assign counting rules to absence types

Here assign your counting rule to your absence type.
