  The SAP error message HRPSGB_ABS158 indicates that a specific wage type has been removed too early in the payroll process. This typically occurs in the context of payroll calculations where certain wage types are expected to be processed at specific times, and their premature removal can lead to inconsistencies in the payroll results.

  Review PCRs: Check the relevant PCRs that are associated with the wage type mentioned in the error message. Ensure that the logic for removing the wage type is correct and that it aligns with the intended payroll processing sequence.
