  The SAP error message HRBASRO004 "Wrong Gender Key" typically occurs in the context of Human Resources (HR) or Personnel Administration when there is a mismatch between the gender key assigned to an employee and the expected values in the system. This error can arise during various HR processes, such as data entry, payroll processing, or when generating reports.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Gender Key: The gender key assigned to an employee in the infotype (e.g., IT0002 - Personal Data) does not match the expected values defined in the system.
  Data Entry Errors: Manual data entry mistakes where the gender key is incorrectly entered (e.g., using an invalid code).
  Configuration Issues: The gender key values may not be properly configured in the system, leading to discrepancies.
  Integration Issues: If data is being imported from another system, the gender key may not align with the expected values in SAP.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Employee Data: Review the employee's personal data in the relevant infotype (e.g., IT0002) to ensure that the gender key is correctly assigned. The valid keys are typically 'M' for Male, 'F' for Female, and sometimes 'X' for non-binary, depending on the configuration.
