  Cause:
  
  Multiple Payroll Areas: The employee may be assigned to more than one payroll area or payroll unit, which can happen due to various reasons such as organizational changes, incorrect data entry, or system configuration issues.
  Data Inconsistencies: There may be inconsistencies in the employee's master data, such as incorrect assignment of payroll areas or units.
  Configuration Issues: The configuration of payroll areas and units in the system may not be set up correctly, leading to overlaps or conflicts.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Employee Master Data:

  Run Consistency Checks:
  
  Use transaction PE03 to run consistency checks on the payroll data. This can help identify any discrepancies in the employee's payroll data.
  
  
  
  Correct Data Entry:
  
  If you find that the employee has been incorrectly assigned to multiple payroll units, correct the assignment in the employee's master data.
  
  
  
  Consult with HR or Payroll Team:
  
  If you are unsure about the correct payroll unit or area, consult with your HR or payroll team to ensure that the employee's assignments are accurate.
