  The SAP error message 51047 indicates that a specific wage type is not supported by a particular parameter due to granularity issues. This error typically arises in the context of payroll processing or when configuring wage types in the SAP system.

  Ensure that the payroll parameters are compatible with the wage type granularity.
  
  
  
  Adjust Customizations:
  
  If there are custom wage types or schema modifications, review them to ensure they are correctly aligned with the standard configurations.
  Consult with your SAP technical team or a functional consultant to make necessary adjustments.
