  The SAP error message HRPAY99CALC203, which states "There is more than one payroll result," typically occurs in the context of payroll processing in SAP HR (Human Resources) when the system encounters multiple payroll results for a single employee for a specific period. This can lead to confusion in processing and reporting, as the system expects only one payroll result per period.

  Run Payroll Again: If the duplicates are due to an error in the payroll run, you may need to run the payroll process again after resolving the issue.
  Review Configuration: Check the payroll configuration settings to ensure that they are set up correctly and that there are no issues that could lead to multiple results being generated.
  Consult SAP Notes: Look for relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide guidance on how to resolve it. SAP Notes can provide patches or updates that fix known issues.
