This error typically arises in the context of HR (Human Resources) data management, particularly when dealing with employee records and their associated infotypes (which are used to store various types of employee-related data).
  Cause:
  
  Validity Period Mismatch: The infotype you are trying to maintain has a validity period that does not align with the validity of the employee's contract. For example, if the contract is valid from January 1, 2023, to December 31, 2023, but the infotype is being set for a different period, this error will occur.

  Contract Changes: If the employee's contract has been changed or updated, the infotype may not have been adjusted accordingly.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the system that enforce strict validity checks between infotypes and contracts.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Validity Dates: Review the validity dates of both the infotype and the employee's contract. Ensure that the dates align correctly.
  Adjust Infotype Dates: If the infotype dates are incorrect, adjust them to match the contract's validity period.
  Update Contract Information: If the contract has been updated, ensure that all related infotypes are also updated to reflect the new validity period.
  Consult HR Master Data: Use transaction codes like PA20 or PA30 to view and edit the employee's master data and check the infotype records.
  Review Configuration: If the issue persists, consult with your SAP HR configuration team to review the settings related to infotype validity checks.
