  The SAP error message 5Y652, which states "Infotype data is missing," typically occurs when the system expects certain infotype data to be present for a specific employee or organizational unit, but it cannot find it. This can happen in various contexts, such as during data entry, payroll processing, or when generating reports.
  Causes:
  
  Missing Infotype Records: The required infotype (e.g., personal data, organizational assignment, etc.) has not been maintained for the employee or organizational unit in question.
  Incorrect Date Validity: The infotype records may exist but are not valid for the date being processed. For example, if the infotype is valid only for a specific period and the current date falls outside that range, the system will not find the data.
  Data Deletion: The infotype data may have been deleted or archived, leading to its unavailability.
  Authorization Issues: Sometimes, the user may not have the necessary authorizations to view or access the infotype data, leading to the perception that it is missing.

  Solutions:
  
  Check Infotype Records: Use transaction codes like PA20 (Display HR Master Data) or PA30 (Maintain HR Master Data) to check if the required infotype records exist for the employee or organizational unit.
  Verify Date Validity: Ensure that the infotype records are valid for the date you are processing. If necessary, adjust the date or maintain the infotype records to cover the required period.
  Restore Deleted Records: If infotype records were deleted, check if they can be restored or if you need to re-enter the data.
  Review Authorizations: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access the infotype data. This may involve checking user roles and permissions.
  Consult Configuration: If the issue persists, consult with your SAP HR configuration team to ensure that the system is set up correctly to handle the required infotypes.
