This error typically arises in the context of employee terminations or resignations where the company policy requires specifying the duration of the pay in lieu of notice.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when:
  
  One of the fields (either "pay in lieu of notice from" or "pay in lieu of notice to") is left blank.

  Solution:
  To resolve this error, follow these steps:
  
  Access the relevant infotype: Go to the infotype where the error is occurring (usually infotype 0000 for actions or infotype 0001 for organizational assignment).
  Fill in the fields: Ensure that both the "pay in lieu of notice from" and "pay in lieu of notice to" fields are filled in with the appropriate dates.
  Check for consistency: Make sure that the dates entered are logical (i.e., the "from" date should be earlier than the "to" date).
  Save the changes: After entering the required information, save the changes and reprocess the payroll or personnel action.
