This error typically occurs in the context of time management or personnel administration within the SAP Human Capital Management (HCM) module.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by the absence of a defined validity period for a time-related record, such as a time evaluation or a time management infotype (e.g., IT 2001, IT 2002). This can happen due to:
