  The SAP error message HRBPS00REQUEST056 indicates that the employee's benefits data infotype is not available for the specified feature. This error typically arises in the context of the SAP Human Capital Management (HCM) module, particularly when dealing with employee benefits and related infotypes.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Infotype Data: The specific infotype related to employee benefits (e.g., infotype 0167 for benefits) may not be maintained for the employee in question.
  Incorrect Feature Configuration: The feature that is being called may not be correctly configured to access the required infotype data.
  Employee Status: The employee's status may not allow for benefits data to be processed (e.g., inactive, terminated).
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to view or process the benefits data for the employee.
  Custom Development: If there are custom developments or enhancements in the system, they may not be correctly handling the infotype data.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Infotype Data: 
  
  Go to the employee's master data (transaction PA30) and check if the relevant benefits infotype is maintained. If it is missing, you will need to create or update it.
  
  
  
  Review Feature Configuration:

  Check Authorizations:
  
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access the employee's benefits data. This can be checked in transaction SU53 or by reviewing the user's roles and authorizations.
