  Check the settings for each salary component to ensure that only one is marked as the total package.
  
  
  
  Adjust Configuration:
  
  If you find multiple components marked as the total package, decide which one should remain as the total package and unmark the others.
  This can typically be done in the configuration transaction (e.g., SPRO) under the relevant payroll or compensation settings.
  
  
  
  Check Infotype Records:
  
  Review the infotype records (e.g., IT0008 - Basic Pay) for the employee in question to ensure that the correct salary component is being used.
  Make necessary adjustments to ensure compliance with the requirement of having only one total package component.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the changes, perform a test run of the payroll or compensation calculation to ensure that the error does not reoccur.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
