  The SAP error message EPS376 "No payment break between periods for years &1 and &2" typically occurs in the context of payroll processing, particularly when dealing with payment periods and the configuration of payment breaks in the payroll system.
  Cause:
  This error indicates that there is an issue with the configuration of payment periods in the payroll settings. Specifically, it suggests that there is no defined break in payments between the specified periods (years &1 and &2). This can happen due to:
  
  Incorrect Configuration: The payment periods may not be set up correctly in the payroll schema or in the relevant infotypes.
  Missing Payment Breaks: There may be a lack of defined payment breaks in the payroll settings, which are necessary for the system to process payments correctly across different periods.

  Define Payment Breaks:
  
  If payment breaks are not defined, you may need to create them in the payroll configuration. This can usually be done in the customizing settings under Payroll > Payroll Processing > Define Payment Breaks.
  
  
  
  Review Employee Data:
  
  Check the employee's payroll data for any inconsistencies or errors that might be causing the issue. Ensure that the payment periods are correctly entered and that there are no overlaps.
