The error message indicates that for the specified action (in this case, "MA" which usually stands for "Maintain Action"), you need to select a specific indicator for benefit loss, specifically "01" or "08".
  Cause:
  The error arises when the system expects a specific indicator for benefit loss to be selected, but the user has either not selected any indicator or has selected an invalid one. The indicators "01" and "08" are predefined codes in the system that correspond to specific types of benefit loss.

  08 may represent another type of benefit loss (e.g., suspension of benefits).
  
  
  Make sure to understand the implications of each indicator based on your organization's policies.
  
  
  
  Review Configuration: If you are unsure about the indicators or if they do not seem to apply, consult with your SAP HCM administrator or HR department to ensure that the configuration is correct and that you are using the right codes.
