How to fix this error?

Check the entry for wage type &V1& in table T5D2S. Maintain the third
derived wage type for an individually taxed portion of the contribution.
This contribution portion is formed when the quotas under sec. 3 no. 63
EStG and/or sec 40b EStG are exhausted.
Note that the tax-exempt portion of the contribution (or portion subject
to lump-sum taxation) can only be formed if the first and second wage
derived wage types are maintained in table T5D2S.
Also note that the taxation type of the entitlement (Customizing view
V_5DCM_1F) may cause no tax-exempt or lump-sum taxed portion of the
contribution to be formed.
