This typically occurs in the context of HR (Human Resources) processes, particularly when dealing with absence management or event processing in SAP.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by the absence of a relevant entry in Infotype 2001 for the employee in question. Infotype 2001 is used to record absence data, and if there are no entries or if the entries are incomplete or incorrect, the system cannot determine the necessary event start date for processing.

  Check for Validity Dates:
  
  Ensure that the validity dates of the Infotype 2001 entries cover the period for which the event start date is being determined.
  
  
  
  Review Related Infotypes:
