What causes this issue?

The key &v3& for the alternative determination of the responsible AI
carrier is not valid for the employee personnel (sub)area &v1& &v2&.
The system uses the employee personnel (sub)area to determine a
personnel area Reporting under subapplication BG01 (Company Data for

in combination with the key &v3& (alternative determination of AI
carrier), the AI data from table T596M (Data from Personnel Area
Reporting) is read for subapplication BG01.
However, no data was found for the personnel area Reporting, which is
derived from the employee personnel (sub)area &v1& &v2&, in combination
with the key &v3&.

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.
