  Separate Export Runs: If you need to process payroll for multiple companies, you will have to run separate export jobs for each company code. This means executing the payroll export process one at a time for each company.
  
  
  Review Configuration: If you believe that the configuration should allow for multiple companies, review the settings in the Payroll Business System (PBS) configuration. Ensure that the configuration aligns with your business requirements and that there are no conflicting settings.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to the specific version of your SAP system for any additional guidance or updates regarding this error.
