• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 5M534 - No infotype record available that is valid after the end of the year. ?

  The SAP error message 5M534 ("No infotype record available that is valid after the end of the year") typically occurs in the context of Human Capital Management (HCM) when the system is trying to access an infotype record (such as employee data) that does not exist for the specified time period, particularly after the end of the current year.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Infotype Records: The most common cause is that there are no valid infotype records for the employee after the end of the current year. This can happen if the records were not created or were deleted.
  Incorrect Date Range: The date range being queried may extend beyond the available records. For example, if you are trying to access data for the next year but have not yet created the necessary infotype records.
  Year-End Processing: If you are performing year-end processing and the system is looking for records that should be valid in the new year, but they have not been set up yet.

  Check Infotype Records: Verify if the required infotype records exist for the employee in question. You can do this by using transaction codes like PA20 (Display HR Master Data) or PA30 (Maintain HR Master Data) to check the infotype records for the employee.

  Review Date Settings: Ensure that the date settings in your queries or reports are correct and do not extend beyond the available records.
  Year-End Processing: If you are in the process of year-end activities, ensure that all necessary infotype records for the new year are created before running reports or processes that require them.
