  The SAP error message HRPAYDESVEE036 indicates that there is an issue with the specified infotype for a given period in the Human Resources (HR) module. Specifically, the message states that the infotype (denoted as &1) does not exist for the specified period (denoted as &2). This typically occurs during payroll processing or when trying to access employee data.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Infotype Data: The infotype specified in the error message has not been maintained for the employee in the given period. This could be due to data entry oversight or the infotype not being applicable for that period.
  Incorrect Period: The period specified may not align with the employee's active employment status or the infotype's validity period.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues in the system that prevent the infotype from being recognized or processed correctly.
  Data Migration Issues: If data was migrated from another system, some infotypes may not have been transferred correctly.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Infotype Maintenance:
  
  Go to the relevant infotype (e.g., using transaction code PA30) and check if the infotype exists for the employee in the specified period.
  If it does not exist, you may need to create or maintain the infotype for that period.
  
  
  
  Verify Employment Status:
