What causes this issue?

Wage type &V1& is assigned to value credit &V2&. Each value credit is
assigned to one legal area. The wage type involves either an accrual of
value credit or a release from work.
In this case, value credit &V2& must be assigned to the same legal area
as the personnel (sub)area, to correctly determine the income threshold
deficit for disruptive events.
However, the payroll results for period &V3& in period &V4& show wage
type &V1& in a different legal area.

System Response

The personnel number is rejected.

How to fix this error?

If the accrual of value credit is involved, you have to use a different
wage type - one assigned to the legal area that matches the legal area
of the personnel (sub)area.
If a release from work is involved, use an organizational change to set
the employee to a different personnel (sub)area.
