  Cause:
  
  
  Negative Values: The most common cause of this error is the presence of negative values in the payroll calculation, which can occur due to various reasons such as:

  Correct Data Entry: Verify the employee's master data and payroll data for any errors. Correct any discrepancies that may lead to negative remuneration.
  
  
  Run Payroll Simulation: Before running the actual payroll, consider running a payroll simulation to identify potential issues without affecting actual payroll results.
