  You attempt to directly maintain an infotype related to long-term incentives (such as infotype 0015 or similar) through standard infotype maintenance transactions (like PA30 or PA40).

  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you should:
  
  
  Use the Correct Transaction: Instead of using the standard infotype maintenance transactions, you should use the specific transaction designed for long-term incentives. This is often transaction HRCMP00 or a similar transaction that is configured for managing long-term incentives.

  Review User Authorizations: Ensure that your user role has the necessary authorizations to access the long-term incentives maintenance transactions. If not, you may need to request additional permissions.
