  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Wage Type Configuration: The wage type in question may not be configured correctly in the system. It might be set up as a non-technical wage type, which means it cannot be processed in the context where it is being used.
  Wage Type Not Defined: The wage type may not be defined in the system at all, or it may not be included in the relevant wage type groups.
  Data Entry Error: There could be a mistake in the data entry where a non-technical wage type is mistakenly used in a context that requires a technical wage type.

  Check Wage Type Configuration:
