  Check Payment Date: Verify the payment date you are trying to use. Ensure that it falls within the defined cumulation window.
  Review Cumulation Window Settings: Check the configuration settings for the cumulation window in the SAP system. This can typically be found in the payroll configuration settings (e.g., in the IMG under Payroll settings).
