  SAP Error Message:
  WS260 - Net/gross values are not compatible with entry category &1
  
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs during payroll processing when the net or gross wage values entered or calculated do not align with the expected values for the specified entry category in the payroll schema or wage type configuration.
  
  Entry category refers to the classification of wage types or payroll entries (e.g., gross wages, deductions, net wages).
  The system expects certain relationships between net and gross values depending on the entry category.
  If the net value is greater than the gross value or if the values contradict the rules defined for that entry category, the system throws this error.
  This can happen due to incorrect wage type configuration, incorrect manual entries, or inconsistencies in the payroll schema or PCR (Personnel Calculation Rule).
  
  
  Typical Scenarios:
  
  Manual wage type entry where net amount exceeds gross amount.
  Incorrect wage type or entry
