• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RTP206 - Retirement plan data should not be mentioned for non retirement accounts ?

  The SAP error message RTP206 indicates that retirement plan data has been incorrectly associated with a non-retirement account. This typically occurs in the context of payroll processing or employee benefits management within the SAP system, particularly when dealing with employee records and their associated retirement plans.

  Review Employee Data: Check the employee's master data in the SAP system to ensure that retirement plan information is only associated with those who are eligible for retirement accounts.
  Correct Data Entry: If incorrect data has been entered, update the employee's record to remove any retirement plan data that should not be there.
  Configuration Check: Review the configuration settings in the SAP system related to payroll and benefits to ensure that they are set up correctly to differentiate between retirement and non-retirement accounts.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on handling retirement plan data and ensuring compliance with the system's requirements.
