• The SAP error message HRPBS00CA017 typically occurs in the context of payroll processing, specifically when dealing with pension calculations in the SAP HR module. This error indicates that a pension pay increase cannot be processed because it includes general and other bonuses, which are not permitted for pension calculations.

  Data Entry Errors: Incorrect data entry in the employee's payroll records or infotypes may lead to this error, especially if bonuses are mistakenly categorized as pensionable earnings.
