This error indicates that there is an issue with the payroll processing logic, specifically related to the use of certain wage types or the configuration of the payroll schema.
  Cause:
  
  Wage Type Configuration: The error may arise if there are wage types that are incorrectly configured or if they are being used in a way that is not allowed by the payroll schema.
  Schema Configuration: The payroll schema may have been modified incorrectly, leading to reserved wage types being used inappropriately.
  XDEC Processing: The error message indicates that the wage types in the range 021 - 039 are reserved for specific processing (XDEC), which means they should not be used for general payroll calculations.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Wage Type Configuration:
  
  Review the configuration of the wage types in question. Ensure that they are set up correctly and are not being used inappropriately in the payroll process.

  Review Payroll Schema:
  
  Check the payroll schema being used for the payroll run. Ensure that the schema has not been modified in a way that conflicts with the reserved wage types.
  If changes were made to the schema, consider reverting to a previous version or adjusting the logic to avoid using the reserved wage types.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to payroll processing and wage type configuration. This can provide insights into the correct usage of wage types and the payroll schema.
  
  
  
  Testing:
