Specifically, the message states that the permissible entries for the gender key are 1, 2, or a space. This error typically arises in the context of personnel administration or employee data management within the SAP Human Capital Management (HCM) module.

  If the gender is not specified, you can leave the field blank.
  
  
  
  Validate Data Sources: If the data is being imported from an external source (like a file upload), ensure that the source data is clean and conforms to the expected format.
  
  
  Check Customizations: If your organization has customized the gender key or its permissible values, verify that the customizations are correctly implemented and that they align with the expected values.
