  Review Configuration: Check the configuration settings for the payroll area to ensure that there are no restrictions preventing the processing of external data for the specified period.
  Validate External Data: Ensure that the external data being processed is complete and accurate. Check for any missing fields or incorrect values that could cause the system to reject the data.
