This message is a warning indicating that if you proceed by pressing ENTER, the system will delete the specified record from the specified infotype.
  Cause:
  This message is triggered when you are trying to change or delete a record in an infotype, and the system detects that the action you are about to take will result in the deletion of an existing record. This can happen in various scenarios, such as:
  
  You are trying to save changes to an infotype without providing all the necessary data, leading the system to interpret it as a request to delete the existing record.

  Review the Data: Before pressing ENTER, check the fields in the infotype you are working on. Ensure that all required fields are filled out correctly.

  Use the Correct Transaction: Make sure you are using the correct transaction code for the infotype you are trying to maintain. For example, use PA30 for maintaining HR master data.
  
  
  Check for Locks: Sometimes, the record may be locked by another user or process. Ensure that no other user is editing the same infotype record.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about the implications of deleting the record, consult your organization's SAP documentation or reach out to your SAP support team for guidance.
