  The SAP error message HRPAYSK_INS129 indicates that there has been a retroactive change in the total of personal income, which necessitates the use of the transaction code /944 for the AB (Annual Bonus) recalculation. This error typically arises in the context of payroll processing in SAP HR (Human Resources) when there are changes to payroll data that affect previous periods.
  Cause:
  
  Retroactive Changes: The error is triggered when there are changes made to payroll data (like salary adjustments, bonuses, or other income) that affect previous payroll periods. This can happen if an employee's salary is adjusted retroactively, or if there are corrections to previous payroll runs.

  Solution:
  
  Use Transaction Code /944: To resolve this error, you need to execute the transaction code /944. This transaction is used for recalculating the annual bonus or other relevant payroll components that may have been affected by the retroactive changes.
  Check Payroll Results: After executing the transaction, review the payroll results to ensure that the recalculations have been applied correctly and that the totals are now consistent.
  Reprocess Payroll: If necessary, you may need to reprocess the payroll for the affected periods to ensure that all calculations are accurate and up to date.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or your organization's payroll processing guidelines for specific steps related to your configuration and setup.
