  The SAP error message 5A612 indicates that an infotype has been delimited, meaning that the data for that infotype is no longer valid for the specified period. This typically occurs when an infotype record has been set to end on a specific date, and any attempt to access or modify that record outside of its valid date range will trigger this error.
  Cause:
  
  Delimitation of Infotype: The infotype record has been delimited (i.e., it has an end date) and you are trying to access or modify it outside of its valid date range.
  Incorrect Date: The date you are trying to use for the infotype is either before the start date or after the end date of the record.
  Data Entry Error: There may be a mistake in the data entry process, such as trying to enter a new record with a date that conflicts with existing records.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Infotype Validity: Review the infotype records for the employee in question to confirm the validity period. You can do this by using transaction codes like PA20 (Display HR Master Data) or PA30 (Maintain HR Master Data).
  Adjust Dates: If you need to make changes to the infotype, ensure that you are working within the valid date range. If necessary, you may need to create a new record with the correct dates.
  Delimit the Record: If the infotype needs to be extended, you can delimit the existing record and create a new record with the required information and valid dates.
  Consult with HR: If you are unsure about the changes needed, consult with your HR department or the person responsible for maintaining employee records to ensure compliance with company policies.
