  Solution:
  
  
  Check Infotype Existence:
  
  Use transaction code PA20 (Display HR Master Data) or PA30 (Maintain HR Master Data) to check if the infotype exists for the employee on the specified key date.

  Check for Deletions:
  
  Review if the infotype was mistakenly deleted. If so, you may need to recreate it.
  
  
  
  Consult Configuration:
  
  If the infotype should exist but does not, check the configuration settings in the SAP system to ensure that the infotype is properly set up and activated.
  
  
  
  Authorization Issues:
  
  Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to view or maintain the infotype for the employee.
