  Cause:
  
  Missing Infotype Record: The most common cause is that there is no infotype 0002 record for the employee on the specified date. This could happen if the employee was not yet hired, if the record was deleted, or if the record was not created properly.
  Date Range Issues: The date being referenced may fall outside the range of valid records for that employee. For example, if the employee was hired after the specified date, there would be no infotype 0002 record for that date.

  Solution:
  
  Check Infotype Records: Use transaction code PA20 (Display HR Master Data) to check the infotype 0002 records for the employee in question. Verify if there is a record for the specified date.
  Create or Update Record: If there is no record, you may need to create a new infotype 0002 record for the employee using transaction code PA30 (Maintain HR Master Data). Ensure that the record is created with the correct start date.
  Review Hiring Process: If the employee was recently hired, ensure that all necessary infotype records were created during the hiring process. If not, you may need to go back and complete the hiring actions.
  Consult with HR Team: If you are unsure about the employee's status or the required records, consult with your HR team or system administrator for assistance.
