This error typically occurs when you attempt to execute payroll for employees who belong to different payroll areas that are assigned to different country groupings.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is that the payroll areas involved in the payroll run do not share the same country grouping.

  Check Payroll Areas: Identify the payroll areas of the employees involved in the payroll run. You can do this by reviewing the employee master data in the SAP system.
  
  
  Verify Country Grouping: For each payroll area, check the assigned country grouping. This can typically be done in the configuration settings of the SAP HR module.
  
  
  Align Payroll Areas: Ensure that all payroll areas included in the payroll run belong to the same country grouping. You may need to:
  
  Change the payroll area of some employees to match the others.
  Create a new payroll area that encompasses the required country grouping if necessary.
  
  
  
  Adjust Payroll Configuration: If the payroll areas are correctly set but still causing issues, review the configuration settings in the SAP system to ensure that they are correctly defined and aligned with the country groupings.
  
  
  Test Payroll Run: After making the necessary adjustments, perform a test payroll run to ensure that the error is resolved.
