SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

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

• Message number: 255

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

What causes this issue?

When a special payment is specified manually for a pension payment to be
imputed, the sec. 54 imputation cannot be calculated automatically using
infotype 0782 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, the widow
receives a difference in the current year that is included
proportionately to 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?

Specify the suspension amount for imputation in accordance with sec. 54
directly using infotype 0326 subtype 4.
