• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 3L074 - Marital status in infotype 0002 does not agree with spouse subtype ?

  The SAP error message 3L074 indicates that there is a mismatch between the marital status recorded in Infotype 0002 (Personal Data) and the spouse's subtype in the same infotype. This error typically arises when the marital status of an employee does not align with the information provided for their spouse, which is also stored in Infotype 0002.
  Cause:
  
  Inconsistent Data: The marital status of the employee (e.g., single, married, divorced) does not match the subtype of the spouse. For example, if the employee is marked as "single," there should not be a spouse record present.
  Incorrect Subtype Assignment: The subtype assigned to the spouse may not be appropriate for the employee's marital status.
  Data Entry Errors: Manual data entry errors can lead to inconsistencies between the marital status and spouse information.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Review Infotype 0002: Check the employee's Infotype 0002 for both the marital status and the spouse's subtype. Ensure that they are consistent.
  
  If the employee is married, ensure that the spouse's subtype is correctly assigned (e.g., subtype for spouse).
  If the employee is single, ensure that there is no spouse record or that it is appropriately marked as "not applicable."
  
  
  
  Correct the Data: 
  
  If there is an inconsistency, update the marital status or the spouse's subtype as necessary.
  If the employee is divorced or widowed, ensure that the spouse record is removed or updated accordingly.
  
  
  
  Validation Rules: Ensure that the validation rules in the system are correctly set up to prevent such inconsistencies in the future.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or your organization's guidelines for handling personal data in Infotype 0002 to ensure compliance with data management practices.
