  The SAP error message PSSC_GROSS022 indicates that there are parallel items for an entitlement frequency period in the context of SAP's Public Sector Contract Management or similar modules.

  Solution:
  
  Review Entitlement Items: Check the entitlement items associated with the specified frequency period. Identify any items that have overlapping periods and resolve the conflicts by adjusting the dates.
  Adjust Frequency Periods: Modify the frequency periods of the entitlements to ensure that they do not overlap. This may involve changing the start and end dates of one or more entitlements.
  Data Cleanup: If there are erroneous entries, consider cleaning up the data by removing or correcting the conflicting entitlement items.
  Configuration Check: Review the configuration settings for entitlement frequencies in the system to ensure they are set up correctly and do not allow for overlapping periods.
