  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you should:
  
  Review Share Definitions: Check the configuration or data entries for the premium payers involved. Ensure that all shares are consistently defined as either relative or absolute.
  Modify Share Types: If you find a mix of share types, decide on a uniform approach (either convert all to relative or all to absolute) and adjust the entries accordingly.
  Validation: After making the necessary changes, validate the entries to ensure that the error no longer appears.
