What causes this issue?

You have chosen a salary sacrifice pension plan option during Flexible
Benefits enrolment, but there is no corresponding infotype <ZK>Pension
GB </>(0071) record for your chosen pension plan option.

System Response

After you have submitted your pension plan selection, the Flexible
Benefits system checks for the existence of an infotype <ZK>Pension GB
</>(0071) record and verifies it. Three conditions must be met for
successful enrolment of a pension plan salary sacrifice option:
The infotype 0071 record must belong to the same scheme as the pension
plan option you have selected
Your contribution amount must be the same as the standard value
The validity period of the pension plan option must be set from the
begin date of the benefits year to the system high date of 31.12.9999
Otherwise, the system error generates this error message and will not
allow you to enrol your selected pension plan salary sacrifice option.

How to fix this error?

Please consult with your HR Benefits Administrator before flexible
benefits pension plan enrolment. You must have joined the same pension
scheme as that of your chosen pension plan option before you can enrol
this particular pension salary sacrifice option.

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.
