• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 70102 - Infotype & & does not exist ?

  The SAP error message 70102, which states "Infotype & & does not exist," typically occurs when the system is unable to find a specific infotype that is being referenced in a transaction or program. Infotypes are data structures in SAP HR (Human Resources) that store employee-related information, such as personal data, organizational assignments, and payroll data.
  Causes:
  
  Incorrect Infotype Number: The infotype number being referenced may be incorrect or mistyped.
  Infotype Not Defined: The infotype may not be defined in the system, possibly due to missing configuration or it being a custom infotype that has not been created.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to access the infotype.
  Client-Specific Configuration: The infotype may exist in one client but not in another, leading to this error when switching clients.
  Transport Issues: If the infotype was recently transported from another system, it may not have been properly imported.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check Infotype Number: Verify that the infotype number being used is correct. You can do this by checking the infotype in the SAP HR configuration (transaction code PA30 or PA20).
  Create or Activate Infotype: If the infotype does not exist, you may need to create it or activate it in the system. This typically requires access to the SAP HR configuration (transaction code SPRO).
  Review Authorizations: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access the infotype. This can be checked in the user roles and profiles.
  Check Client Settings: If you are working in a different client, ensure that the infotype is available in that client. You may need to transport the infotype configuration if it is missing.
  Consult with Basis Team: If the infotype was recently transported, consult with your SAP Basis team to ensure that the transport was successful and that all necessary objects were included.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Infotype List: You can view a list of infotypes in the SAP system using transaction code PM01 or by checking the SAP documentation for HR infotypes.

  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as PA30 (Maintain HR Master Data), PA20 (Display HR Master Data), and SPRO (SAP Reference IMG) for configuration.
