  The SAP error message HRPADAE023 indicates that there is an issue with an infotype record in the Human Resources (HR) module. Specifically, the message states that the infotype has a status type of "Valid," and as a result, the infotype record will be deleted. This typically occurs during actions such as data updates or deletions in the HR module.
  Cause:
  
  Infotype Status: The infotype record you are trying to delete or modify has a status of "Valid," which means it is currently active and cannot be deleted without first changing its status.
  Data Integrity Rules: SAP enforces data integrity rules to ensure that valid records are not inadvertently deleted, which could lead to inconsistencies in the HR data.
  Authorization Issues: Sometimes, the user may not have the necessary authorizations to change the status of the infotype.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Change the Status: Before attempting to delete the infotype record, you need to change its status from "Valid" to a status that allows deletion (e.g., "Inactive" or "Archived"). This can typically be done through the infotype maintenance transaction (e.g., PA30).
  
  Navigate to the infotype in question and change its status.
  Save the changes before attempting to delete the record again.
  
  
  
  Check Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to modify the infotype records. If you do not have the required permissions, contact your SAP security administrator.
  
  
  Review Business Processes: If the infotype is part of a business process (e.g., payroll, benefits), ensure that deleting the record will not violate any business rules or processes.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or your organization's HR data management guidelines for specific instructions on handling infotype records.
