  Wage Type Configuration: The wage type may not be configured correctly for the specified country in the system. This could be due to missing entries in the configuration tables or incorrect settings.
  End Date Issue: The end date for the wage type or the employee's record may have expired, making the wage type no longer valid for processing.
  Country-Specific Regulations: Certain wage types may be restricted based on country-specific labor laws or regulations, which may not allow the use of certain wage types after a specific date.

  Review End Dates:
  
  Check the end date of the wage type in the employee's master data (Transaction code: PA30).
  Ensure that the end date is valid and that the wage type is still active for the employee.
  If the end date has passed, consider updating the record to extend the validity of the wage type.
  
  
  
  Consult Country-Specific Guidelines:
