  The SAP error message 5Z048 indicates that an employee has left the organization on a specific date, and this affects the processing of the 'VBL/SPI Data' infotype (0051). This infotype is typically used to manage data related to the employee's leave or absence, and the error arises when there is an attempt to process or update this infotype for an employee who is no longer active in the system.
  Cause:
  
  Employee Status: The employee has been marked as having left the organization, which means they are no longer active in the system.

  Check Employee Status: Verify the employee's status in the system. If the employee is indeed marked as having left, you will need to ensure that any updates to infotype 0051 are done before the leaving date.
  Adjust Dates: If you need to make changes to the infotype, consider adjusting the dates to ensure they fall within the employee's active period.
  Consult HR Module: If you need to process any data related to the employee after their departure, consult with your HR module or personnel administration team to determine the appropriate steps.
  Use Correct Infotype: If you need to record information for an employee who has left, you may need to use a different infotype that is designed for former employees, if available.
