• The SAP error message 5H109 indicates that an infotype (in this case, garnishment-related) can only be created through a specific menu path in the SAP system, rather than through standard infotype maintenance transactions. This error typically arises when users attempt to create or modify garnishment infotypes directly through transaction codes like PA30 (Maintain HR Master Data) or PA40 (Personnel Actions) without following the correct procedure.
