  Check Payroll Period: Ensure that you are processing the payroll for the correct period. If you are in the first week or month of the fiscal year, you should not be using a cumulative tax code.
  Use Appropriate Tax Code: Instead of using a cumulative tax code, use the standard tax code applicable for the current period. This may involve changing the tax code in the payroll processing settings.
  Review Configuration: Check the configuration settings in the payroll schema to ensure that cumulative tax codes are only allowed in the appropriate periods. This may involve consulting with your SAP payroll administrator or a functional consultant.
