  Cause:
  
  
  Negative Accruals: The error usually arises when the system calculates a negative value for the social security contributions (SP - "Social Security") for the current month. This can happen due to:
  
  Incorrect configuration of payroll rules or schemas.
  Manual adjustments or corrections that inadvertently lead to negative values.
  Data entry errors in employee master data or payroll results.
  Changes in employee status (e.g., leave of absence, termination) that affect payroll calculations.
  
  
  
  Incorrect Master Data: Issues with employee master data, such as incorrect salary, deduction rates, or absence records, can lead to negative accruals.
  
  
  Payroll Processing Errors: Errors during the payroll run, such as incorrect processing of previous months, can also lead to this issue.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Review Payroll Configuration: Check the payroll schema and rules related to social security contributions. Ensure that the calculations are set up correctly and that there are no conflicting rules.

  Adjust Payroll Entries: If manual adjustments were made, ensure they are correct. If necessary, reverse or correct any erroneous entries that may have led to the negative accrual.
  
  
  Run Payroll Simulation: Before running the actual payroll, perform a simulation to identify any potential issues. This can help catch errors before they affect the final payroll results.
