• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message HRASR00_DT_FSCN_DATA155 - Subtype &1 does not exist for infotype &2 ?

  The SAP error message HRASR00_DT_FSCN_DATA155 with the description "Subtype &1 does not exist for infotype &2" typically occurs in the context of Human Resources (HR) data management, particularly when working with infotypes in the SAP system.
  Cause:
  This error indicates that the system is trying to access a specific subtype of an infotype that does not exist in the configuration. Infotypes in SAP HR are used to store specific types of employee data, and each infotype can have multiple subtypes. If the subtype specified in the operation (e.g., during data entry, data retrieval, or processing) is not defined in the system for the specified infotype, this error will be triggered.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Infotype and Subtype Configuration:
  
  Go to the SAP transaction code SPRO (Customizing) and navigate to the relevant path for HR infotypes.
  Check the configuration for the specific infotype (&2) and verify if the subtype (&1) is defined.
  If the subtype does not exist, you may need to create it or adjust the data entry to use a valid subtype.
  
  
  
  Review Data Entry:
  
  Ensure that the data being entered or processed is correct. If you are manually entering data, double-check the subtype and infotype values.
  If the data is being imported or processed through a program, ensure that the data source is providing valid subtypes.
  
  
  
  Authorization Check:
  
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access the infotype and its subtypes. Lack of authorization can sometimes lead to misleading error messages.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review the SAP documentation or help files related to the specific infotype and subtype to understand their purpose and configuration.
  
  
  
  Contact SAP Support:
  
  If you are unable to resolve the issue through the above steps, consider reaching out to SAP support or your internal SAP support team for further assistance.
