  Review Multiple Contracts:
  
  If the employee has multiple positions, ensure that the total employment percentage across all positions does not exceed 100%.
  Adjust the percentages accordingly.
  
  
  
  Configuration Review:
  
  If the issue persists, consult with your SAP HCM configuration team to review the settings related to employment percentages.
