  The SAP error message HRGB_LGPS063 is related to the Local Government Pension Scheme (LGPS) in the context of HR and payroll processing. This warning indicates that a specific value (in this case, a pensionable pay or contribution) has been increased due to a change in the employee's circumstances or payroll data.
  Cause:
  The warning message typically arises when:
  
  An employee's pensionable earnings have been adjusted, which could be due to a salary increase, back pay, or other adjustments.
  The increase in the pensionable pay is being reported for the first time or has been recalculated based on new data.
  The system is notifying you that the pensionable pay has increased by a certain amount (E161) to a new total (the new value).
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Review the Employee's Data: Check the employee's payroll data to understand why the pensionable pay has increased. Look for any recent changes in salary, bonuses, or other adjustments that could have affected the pensionable earnings.
  
  
  Verify Configuration: Ensure that the configuration for the LGPS is set up correctly in the system. This includes checking the relevant infotypes and payroll schemas to ensure they are processing the data as expected.
  
  
  Check for Errors: Look for any errors or inconsistencies in the payroll run that may have led to this increase. This could include checking for duplicate entries or incorrect data.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or your organization's HR policies regarding LGPS contributions to ensure compliance and correct processing.
  
  
  Communicate with Payroll Team: If necessary, discuss the warning with your payroll team or SAP support to clarify the implications of the warning and ensure that all adjustments are correctly processed.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Infotypes: Check relevant infotypes such as IT0008 (Basic Pay), IT0014 (Recurring Payments and Deductions), and IT0015 (Additional Payments) for any changes.
  Payroll Processing: Familiarize yourself with the payroll processing steps in SAP, especially those related to pension contributions.
  LGPS Regulations: Understand the regulations governing the Local Government Pension Scheme, as they may dictate how certain adjustments should be handled.
  
  If the warning does not indicate a critical error and the adjustments are valid, it may simply serve as a notification for your records. However, if you are unsure, it is always best to consult with your SAP support team or a payroll specialist.
