  Cause:
  
  
  Invalid Employee Record: The employee (identified by &1) does not have a valid record in the system for the date specified (&2). This could be due to several reasons:
  
  The employee is not active on that date.
  The employee's record has not been created or has been terminated.
  The employee's data is not maintained correctly in the relevant infotypes (e.g., infotype 0000 for actions, infotype 0001 for organizational assignment).
  
  
  
  Date Issues: The date specified may fall outside the range of valid employment dates for the employee. For example, if the employee was hired after the specified date or has left the organization before that date.
  
  
  Data Consistency: There may be inconsistencies in the employee's data, such as missing or incorrect entries in required infotypes.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Employee Status: Verify the employee's status in the system. You can do this by checking the relevant infotypes (e.g., 0000, 0001) to ensure that the employee is active and has the correct data for the specified date.
  
  
  Review Validity Dates: Ensure that the date you are using is within the range of the employee's employment. If the employee was hired or terminated around that date, you may need to adjust your input.
  
  
  Maintain Infotypes: If the employee record is missing or incorrect, you may need to create or update the relevant infotypes. This can be done through transaction codes like PA30 (Maintain HR Master Data) or PA40 (Personnel Actions).
  
  
  Consult with HR: If you are unsure about the employee's status or the data, consult with your HR department to verify the employee's record and ensure that all necessary information is correctly maintained.
  
  
  Check Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to view or edit the employee's data. Lack of proper permissions can sometimes lead to errors.
  
  
  Related Information:
