• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 5I078 - Employee Rejected as no valid IT0220 EXIST ?

  The SAP error message 5I078 indicates that an employee has been rejected because there is no valid infotype IT0220 (which is typically related to "Employee Remuneration" or "Compensation Information") existing for that employee. This error usually occurs during processes such as payroll processing, data uploads, or when trying to create or modify employee records.
  Cause:
  
  
  Missing Infotype: The primary cause of this error is that the infotype IT0220 has not been maintained for the employee in question. This could be due to:
  
  The infotype was never created for the employee.
  The infotype was deleted or not saved properly.
  The employee is new and has not yet been assigned the necessary remuneration details.
  
  
  
  Incorrect Validity Dates: The infotype might exist, but the validity dates may not cover the period for which the payroll or other processes are being executed.
  
  
  Data Entry Errors: There may be data entry errors or inconsistencies in the employee's records that prevent the infotype from being recognized as valid.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Infotype IT0220:
  
  Go to the employee's master data using transaction code PA30 (Maintain HR Master Data).
  Enter the employee's personnel number and check if infotype 0220 exists.
  If it does not exist, you will need to create it by selecting the appropriate action (e.g., "Create" or "Change") and entering the necessary remuneration details.
  
  
  
  Review Validity Dates:
  
  If the infotype exists, check the validity dates to ensure they cover the period for which the payroll is being processed.
  If the dates are incorrect, you may need to adjust them accordingly.
  
  
  
  Data Consistency:
  
  Ensure that all required fields in the infotype are filled out correctly and that there are no inconsistencies in the employee's data.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review any relevant documentation or guidelines provided by your organization regarding the maintenance of employee remuneration data.
  
  
  
  Authorization:
