  The SAP error message HRPAY99_PAYROLL_CE000 indicates that there are linked assignments in the payroll results that are associated with more than one central person. This typically occurs in the context of payroll processing when there are inconsistencies in the employee assignments or when multiple personnel numbers are linked to a single payroll result.
  Cause:

  Solution:
  
  Review Employee Assignments: Check the employee records to ensure that there are no duplicate personnel numbers or incorrect assignments. You can use transaction codes like PA20 (Display HR Master Data) to review the employee's data.
