  Cause:
  This error arises when there are inconsistencies in the day types or DWS (Daily Work Schedule) classes associated with substitutions in the system.

  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Review Substitutions: Check the substitutions that have been defined for the employee or position in question. Ensure that all substitutions are consistent in terms of the DWS classes and day types.
  
  
  Standardize Day Types: If there are multiple day types associated with the substitutions, consider standardizing them.
