  The SAP error message 3L177 ("Wage type repeated &") typically occurs during payroll processing when a wage type is being processed more than once for the same employee in a payroll period. This can happen for various reasons, such as incorrect configuration, duplicate entries, or issues in the payroll schema.
  Causes:
  
  Duplicate Wage Type Entries: The wage type may have been entered multiple times in the payroll results for the same period.
