  The SAP error message 5N302 indicates that there has been a change in the end date of an infotype record, and as a result, the system requires you to regenerate the infotype record. This error typically occurs in the context of personnel administration (PA) or organizational management (OM) when there are changes to the validity period of an infotype record.
  Cause:
  The error is triggered when:
  
  An existing infotype record has its end date modified, which can happen due to various reasons such as changes in employment status, contract modifications, or organizational changes.
  The system detects that the change in the end date affects the validity of the infotype record, and it requires the record to be regenerated to ensure data consistency.

  Check the Record: Look for the record that has the changed end date. You may need to check the validity dates and ensure that they are correct.
  
  
  Regenerate the Record:
  
  If the infotype is related to a specific employee, you may need to delete the existing record and create a new one with the correct dates.
  Alternatively, if the system allows, you can modify the existing record to reflect the new end date and ensure that the changes are consistent with other related infotypes.
  
  
  
  Save Changes: After making the necessary adjustments, save the changes to the infotype record.
  
  
  Test the Changes: After regeneration, test the changes to ensure that the error message no longer appears and that the infotype is functioning as expected.
