  The SAP error message "57332 Record &1 was deleted from cluster IF" typically indicates that a record that was expected to be found in the cluster table has been deleted. This error is often related to the Infotype (IT) records in the Human Capital Management (HCM) module, particularly when dealing with employee data.
  Cause:
  
  
  Data Deletion: The record referenced by &1 has been deleted from the cluster table. This can happen due to various reasons, such as:

  Solution:

  Data Recovery: If the record was deleted due to archiving, check if it can be restored from the archive. This may require assistance from your SAP Basis team.
  
  
  Check for Custom Programs: If there are custom programs or enhancements that manipulate infotype data, review them to ensure they are not causing unintended deletions.
