Specifically, the message states that the employee is assigned to company code &1 but must be assigned to company code &2.
  Cause:
  This error typically occurs in scenarios where:
  
  An employee is being processed in a context that requires them to be associated with a specific company code.
  The employee's master data (such as their personnel assignment) is set up for a different company code than the one being used in the transaction.
  There may be a configuration issue or a data inconsistency in the employee's assignment to company codes.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Employee Assignment:
  
  Go to the employee's master data in the SAP system (transaction code PA20 or PA30).
  Verify the company code assignment in the employee's personnel data. Ensure that the employee is assigned to the correct company code that is required for the transaction.
  
  
  
  Update Employee Data:

  Review Transaction Context:
  
  Ensure that the transaction you are trying to execute is intended for the company code that the employee is assigned to. If the transaction is meant for a different company code, you may need to switch to the correct company code context.
  
  
  
  Consult with HR or Payroll:
  
  If you are unsure about the correct company code assignment or if there are specific business rules governing employee assignments, consult with your HR or payroll department for guidance.
  
  
  
  Check Configuration:
