SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: HRPBSDEVAVG - HR-VADM: Public Sector Pensions Act

• Message number: 221

• Message text: Automatic calculation of imputation addit. pension paymt is not possible

What causes this issue?

The imputation of an additional pension payment cannot be calculated
automatically because the minimum retention amount in accordance with
sec. 54 para. 4 requires the special payment for the widow's pension
without the proportion from the difference. In this case where the
pension payment to be imputed is specified manually, the widow receives
a difference in the current year that is included proportionately in the
special payment. This proportion cannot be calculated for the sec. 54
para. 4 minimum retention amount.

System Response

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

How to fix this error?

In the <ZK>Spec. Paymt w/o Diff</> field in pension administration,
enter the amount for the special payment to be imputed without the
proportion resulting from the difference. You enter this on the tab page
for sec. 54 BeamtVG or in the infotype for sec. 54 BeamtVG (0782).
The suspension amount for imputation in accordance with sec. 54 can
otherwise be specified directly using infotype 0326 subtype 4.
