This error indicates that there is an issue with the payroll results for a specific period, where the system is trying to process a payroll run but finds that there are existing results that conflict with the current processing.
  Cause:
  
  Existing Payroll Results: The error usually arises when there are already existing payroll results for the specified period (&2). This can happen if a payroll run has already been executed for that period, and the system does not allow a new run to overwrite or conflict with existing results.
  Incorrect Configuration: There may be configuration issues in the payroll schema or in the way payroll is set up for the specific employee or group of employees.
  Pending Actions: There might be pending actions or corrections that need to be addressed before a new payroll run can be processed.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Existing Payroll Results: 
  
  Use transaction code PC_PAYRESULT to check the payroll results for the specified period. If results exist, you may need to review them to determine if they are correct or if they need to be deleted or adjusted.
  
  
  
  Delete or Adjust Payroll Results:

Ensure you have the necessary authorizations and that you follow your organization's procedures for handling payroll corrections.
  
  
  
  Review Payroll Configuration:
