The specific field in question is NPMAX, which defines the maximum allowable net pay for payroll processing.

  Incorrect Payroll Data: There may be incorrect or unexpected data in the employee's payroll records, such as high bonuses, allowances, or other payments that inflate the net pay.
  Changes in Legislation or Company Policy: Changes in tax laws or company policies may have resulted in higher net pay that exceeds the previously set limits.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Review and Adjust T511K Configuration:
  
  Access the table T511K in the SAP system.
  Check the value set for NPMAX and determine if it needs to be increased based on the current payroll structure and employee compensation.
  If necessary, update the NPMAX value to accommodate the expected net pay.
  
  
  
  Check Employee Payroll Data:
  
  Review the employee's payroll data for any anomalies or errors that could lead to an inflated net pay.
