This error typically arises in the context of HR processes, such as payroll, reporting, or when generating documents that require the employee's full name.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is that the employee's name data is not properly maintained in the relevant infotype (IT0002 - Personal Data). Specifically, the formatted full name is derived from the first name and last name fields, and if either of these fields is empty or incorrectly filled, the system will not be able to generate the full name.

  Check IT0002 (Personal Data):
  
  Go to the transaction code PA30 (Maintain HR Master Data).
  Enter the employee's personnel number and select the infotype 0002 (Personal Data).
  Ensure that the fields for the first name and last name are filled in correctly. If either field is empty, enter the appropriate data.
  
  
  
  Check Name Format:
  
  Ensure that the name format is correct. Sometimes, special characters or incorrect formatting can cause issues.
  
  
  
  Save Changes:
  
  After making the necessary changes, save the infotype. This should update the employee's formatted full name in the system.
  
  
  
  Test the Process:

  Related Information:
