This is almost certainly incorrect. On confirming this warning, the
infotype record will be updated with week1/month1 indicator set.

System Response

The system catches this situation since a cumulative tax base in
combination with the NT tax code will result in tax being refunded in
payroll. On confirmation of this warning, the week1/month1 indicator is
set for the record in the background.

Confirm the warning message and proceed with the update, unless you
believe the record should instead be updated with a cumulative base.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message HREFIGB060 - Incoming P6 form has an 'NT' tax code; Week1/Month1 indicator will be set ?

  The SAP error message HREFIGB060 indicates that there is an issue with the tax code used in the incoming P6 form. Specifically, it mentions that the tax code is 'NT' (No Tax), which leads to the system setting the Week1/Month1 indicator. This typically occurs in the context of payroll processing or tax reporting.

  Solution:
  
  Review Tax Code Assignment: Check the assignment of the 'NT' tax code in the system. Ensure that it is appropriate for the employee or payment type in question.
  Correct the P6 Form: If the P6 form was filled out incorrectly, correct the form and resubmit it with the appropriate tax code.
  Update Configuration: If the 'NT' tax code is being used incorrectly due to a lack of configuration for other tax codes, consider updating the tax code settings in the SAP system to reflect the correct codes.
  Consult with Payroll/Tax Specialist: If unsure about the correct tax code to use, consult with a payroll or tax specialist to ensure compliance with local tax laws and regulations.
