How to fix this error?

The customising table T5GPBS27 allows standard (or customer specific)
Valuation Rules to be selected (from T554L) and made available for any
ONE of the following six uses;
1) Complete Day Valuation Rules - Scheme Rules (T5GPBS23)
Part Days (T5GPBS25)
The Standard Valuation Rules that are used to create Scheme Rules
that group entitlements for a certain Complete Day Payment Band.
If Part Day processing is allowed then ALL these Complete Day
Valuation Rules must be further specified using Part Day
Valuation Rules in T5GPBS25 so that they can be processed.
2) Non-Qualifying Valuation Rules - Non-Qualifying (T5GPBS22)
The Standard Valuation Rules that are used to mark days during an
absence that do not qualify to reduce the employee's entitlement.
3) Waiting Day Valuation Rules - End Rules (T5GPBS20)
The Standard Valuation Rules that are used to mark days that will be
processed as waiting days. (i.e. similarly to SSP waiting days, but
could equally be used for minimum payment days at the start of every
absence.
4) Part Day Valuation Rules - Part Days (T5GPBS25)
The Standard Valuation Rules that are used to mark part days
absences or part day entitlement splits in complete day absences
and so allow part days to be processed correctly.
5) Non-Payment Valuation Rules - Non-Payment (T5GPBS26)
The Standard Valuation Rules that are used to mark days during an
absence that DO qualify to reduce the employee's entitlement, but
DO NOT qualify for payment. These may not be required as the
standard customising in for Valuation Rules (T554C) allows absences
days to not be paid on either certain days of the week, not on
Public Holidays from the employee's Personnel Work Schedule or not
on non-working days from the employee's Personnel Work Schedule.
6) Nil Pay Valuation Rules - Scheme (T5GPBS29)
The Standard Valuation Rules that are used to mark days during an
absence that do qualify to reduce the employee's entitlement,
BUT the employee has already used all their entitlements are marked
to be 'Nil Pay Days'.
