This error typically occurs in the context of payroll processing in countries that require the submission of payroll data in a specific format, such as the JOPPD format in Croatia.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is that the system has detected that the JOPPD XML file for the specified payroll period has already been generated and submitted.

  Check Existing JOPPD Data: Verify if the JOPPD XML file has indeed been created for the specified payroll period. You can do this by checking the relevant payroll reports or the JOPPD submission logs.
  
  
  Review Payroll Period: Ensure that you are working with the correct payroll period. If you need to make changes, you may need to create a new payroll period or adjust the data in the current period if allowed.
  
  
  Reversal or Correction: If there was an error in the payroll data that necessitates a change, you may need to reverse the payroll for that period. This can involve:
  
  Running a payroll reversal for the affected employees.
  Making the necessary corrections to the payroll data.
  Re-running the payroll process to generate a new JOPPD file.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Review the SAP documentation or help files related to JOPPD reporting and payroll processing for specific instructions on handling this error.
