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

• Message number: 254

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

What causes this issue?

When a special payment is specified manually, the sec. 54 imputation
cannot be calculated automatically using infotype 0782 because the
minimum retention amount in accordance with sec. 54 para. 3 requires the
special payment for the widow's pension without the proportion from the
difference. In this case, 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. 3 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?

If the special payment has to be specified manually, the suspension
amount for imputation in accordance with sec. 54 must be specified
directly using infotype 0326 subtype 4.
