  Correct Data Entry: If there are errors in the infotype records, correct them. This may involve changing the start date or creating a new record with the correct dates.
  Consult with HR or Payroll Team: If you are unsure about the correct dates or how to proceed, consult with your HR or payroll team for guidance.
