This error indicates that the operation you are trying to perform is only applicable to payroll results that have been properly processed and finalized.
  Cause:
  
  Invalid Context: The error usually arises when you attempt to summarize payroll results that are not yet finalized or are in an incorrect state.
  Missing Payroll Results: If there are no payroll results available for the employee or the period you are trying to summarize, this error can occur.
  Incorrect Configuration: There may be issues with the configuration of the payroll schema or the way payroll results are being processed.

  Finalize Payroll: If the payroll results are not finalized, you may need to run the payroll process again to ensure that all results are correctly calculated and saved.
  Review Configuration: Check the configuration of your payroll schema and ensure that it is set up correctly to allow for summarization. This may involve reviewing the payroll processing steps and ensuring that all necessary actions have been completed.
  Use Correct Transaction: Make sure you are using the correct transaction or program for summarization. Some transactions may not support summarization if they are not intended for that purpose.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific details on the payroll process and summarization requirements.
