  The SAP error message HRPAYAT_ADIST011 indicates that a specific wage type (denoted as &1) cannot be distributed using the current totals rule in the payroll process. This error typically arises in the context of payroll processing when the system attempts to distribute wage types across different cost centers or accounts, but the configuration does not allow for that distribution.
  Cause:
  
  Configuration Issues: The wage type may not be configured correctly in the payroll schema or in the wage type characteristics. This could include settings related to distribution rules or the way the wage type is defined in the system.
  Totals Rule: The current totals rule may not support the distribution of the specified wage type. Each wage type can have specific rules that determine how it can be processed and distributed.

  Check Wage Type Configuration:
  
  Go to the transaction code PE02 (Wage Type Configuration) and check the configuration for the wage type in question. Ensure that it is set up to allow distribution.
  Verify the characteristics of the wage type, especially the "Distributable" flag.
  
  
  
  Review Totals Rules:
  
  Use transaction code PE01 to review the payroll schema and the associated totals rules. Ensure that the totals rule being used allows for the distribution of the wage type.

  Adjust Payroll Schema:
  
  If the payroll schema does not accommodate the distribution of the wage type, you may need to adjust the schema to include the necessary logic for distribution.
