  The SAP error message HRECM00LTI008 indicates that there are more awards being exercised than were originally granted for a Long-Term Incentive (LTI) plan. This typically occurs in the context of managing employee compensation and benefits, particularly when dealing with stock options or similar incentive plans.
  Cause:
  
  Exceeding Granted Awards: The primary cause of this error is that the number of awards (e.g., stock options) an employee is trying to exercise exceeds the total number of awards that were granted to them under the LTI plan.
  Data Entry Errors: There may be mistakes in data entry, such as incorrect numbers being inputted for the number of awards exercised or granted.
  Plan Configuration Issues: The LTI plan may not be configured correctly in the SAP system, leading to discrepancies in the number of awards granted versus exercised.
  Timing Issues: The exercise of awards may be attempted before the awards are officially granted or after they have expired.
  
  Solution:
  
  Verify Award Grants: Check the records for the employee in question to confirm the total number of awards that were granted. This can usually be done through the SAP HR module.
  Correct Data Entry: Ensure that the number of awards being exercised is accurately entered and does not exceed the granted amount.
  Review LTI Plan Configuration: Ensure that the LTI plan is set up correctly in the system, including the rules for granting and exercising awards.
  Consult with HR or Payroll: If there are discrepancies or if you are unsure about the correct numbers, consult with the HR or payroll department to clarify the situation.
  Adjust Exercise Request: If the exercise request is indeed higher than the granted amount, adjust the request to align with the granted awards.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for detailed information on managing LTI plans and understanding error messages.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes in SAP that pertain to LTI management, such as those for viewing employee compensation data.
  User Roles: Ensure that the user attempting to exercise the awards has the appropriate permissions and roles assigned in SAP to perform this action.
  Audit Trail: Check the audit trail for any changes made to the LTI plan or employee awards that could have led to this discrepancy.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be necessary to escalate the matter to your SAP support team or consult with a technical expert who specializes in SAP HR modules.
