• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 5G894 - Infotype &1 already exists for &2; infotype not migrated ?

  The SAP error message 5G894 indicates that there is an issue with the migration of infotypes during a data migration process, typically related to the Employee Master Data in SAP HCM (Human Capital Management). The message states that the specified infotype already exists for the given employee, and therefore, it cannot be migrated again.
  
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Infotype Entries: The infotype you are trying to migrate already exists for the employee in the system. This can happen if the data migration process is attempted multiple times without proper checks for existing records.
  Incorrect Migration Data: The data being imported may not be correctly formatted or may contain duplicates that violate the uniqueness constraints of the infotype.
  Incomplete Data Cleanup: Prior to migration, if the existing data was not cleaned up or archived properly, it could lead to conflicts during the migration process.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Existing Infotypes: Before migrating, check the existing infotypes for the employee in question.
