The message specifies that there are multiple entries for a given wage type (&1), main transaction (&2), and subtransaction (&3), which is not allowed.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Entries: The most common cause of this error is that there are multiple entries for the same wage type in the configuration or master data tables.

  Ensure that the wage type configuration is set up correctly without any overlaps.
  
  
  
  Review Configuration:

  Testing:
