This error indicates that there is a conflict in the work schedule settings for an employee or a group of employees.
  Cause:
  
  Multiple Work Schedules: The employee is assigned multiple work schedules (e.g., both flextime and fixed work schedule) which is not allowed.
  Configuration Issues: The system may not be properly configured to handle the specific work schedule types for the employee.
  Incorrect Employee Master Data: The employee's master data may have conflicting settings regarding work schedules.
  Absence of Required Settings: The necessary settings for flextime or fixed work schedules may not be defined in the system.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Review Work Schedule Assignment:
  
  Check the employee's work schedule assignment in the employee master data (infotype 0007 - Planned Working Time).
  Ensure that the employee is assigned either a flextime schedule or a fixed work schedule, but not both.
  
  
  
  Adjust Configuration:
  
  If you are an administrator, review the configuration settings for work schedules in the SAP system (transaction code: SPRO).
  Navigate to Personnel Management > Personnel Administration > Customizing Procedures > Work Schedule and ensure that the flextime and fixed work schedule settings are correctly defined.
  
  
  
  Correct Master Data:
  
  If the employee's master data is incorrect, update it to reflect the appropriate work schedule type.
  Use transaction code PA30 to modify the employee's data.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:

  Testing:
