  The SAP error message HRPAYAT_ADIST004 indicates that there is an issue with a wage type that has been split using the CNTR2 (counter 2) method. This error typically arises in the context of payroll processing, particularly in the Austrian payroll module.
  Cause:
  The error message is triggered when:
  
  A wage type (represented by &1) has been generated with a split that is not correctly configured or is inconsistent.
  The CNTR2 split is not properly defined in the payroll schema or the wage type configuration.
  There may be issues with the underlying data, such as incorrect infotype records or missing entries that are required for the calculation of the wage type.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Wage Type Configuration:
  
  Go to the wage type configuration in the SAP system (Transaction code: PE01 or V_T512W).
  Ensure that the wage type in question is correctly defined and that the CNTR2 split is properly set up.
  
  
  
  Review Payroll Schema:

  Validate Infotype Records:
  
  Review the relevant infotype records (e.g., IT0008 for basic pay, IT0014 for recurring payments/deductions) to ensure that all necessary data is present and correct.
  Ensure that the employee's master data is complete and accurate.
  
  
  
  Run Payroll Simulation:
  
  Perform a payroll simulation (Transaction code: PC00_MXX_CALC where XX is the country code) to identify any other potential issues that may not be directly related to the wage type but could be affecting payroll processing.
  
  
  
  Consult SAP Notes:
