• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 5N072 - Weekly work days in IT7 empty, part-time employee not entered in IT0060 ?

  The SAP error message 5N072 indicates that there is an issue with the configuration of a part-time employee's work schedule in the system. Specifically, it points out that the weekly workdays in the IT7 (Planned Working Time) infotype are empty, and that the part-time employee has not been entered in the IT0060 (Work Schedule) infotype.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Data in IT7: The IT7 infotype, which is used to define the planned working time for an employee, does not have the required information about the weekly workdays for the part-time employee.
  Incomplete IT0060 Entry: The IT0060 infotype, which defines the work schedule for the employee, may not have been properly maintained for the part-time employee, leading to the error.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Maintain IT7 Infotype:
  
  Go to the transaction code PA30 (Maintain HR Master Data).
  Enter the employee's personnel number and select the IT7 infotype.
  Ensure that the weekly workdays are correctly defined. For part-time employees, you should specify the actual days they are scheduled to work.
  
  
  
  Maintain IT0060 Infotype:
  
  Still in PA30, check the IT0060 infotype for the same employee.
  Ensure that the work schedule is correctly defined for the part-time employee. This includes specifying the work schedule rule that corresponds to their part-time status.
  
  
  
  Check Work Schedule Configuration:
  
  If the employee is part-time, ensure that the work schedule configuration in the system supports part-time employees. This may involve checking the work schedule rules and ensuring they are set up to accommodate part-time work.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, test the employee's data to ensure that the error message no longer appears. You can do this by trying to process a payroll run or any other relevant transaction that previously triggered the error.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Infotypes: IT7 (Planned Working Time) and IT0060 (Work Schedule) are critical for defining how many hours and days an employee is expected to work.
  Part-Time Employees: Special considerations may be needed for part-time employees in terms of payroll calculations, benefits, and work schedules.
  SAP Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for detailed information on maintaining infotypes and configuring work schedules.
  
  By ensuring that both the IT7 and IT0060 infotypes are correctly maintained, you should be able to resolve the error message 5N072.
