  The SAP error message PQ822 indicates that there is an issue with the infotype structure being used for a specific object type in the SAP system. This error typically arises in the context of Personnel Administration (PA) or other modules where infotypes are used to manage employee data.
  Cause:
  The error message PQ822 occurs when:
  
  An infotype structure that is not compatible with the specified object type is being referenced.
  The infotype structure may not be defined correctly in the system or is not allowed for the specific object type you are trying to use it with.
  There may be a configuration issue in the system where the infotype is not properly assigned to the object type.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the PQ822 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Infotype Configuration:
  
  Go to the transaction code SPRO to access the SAP Reference IMG.

  Review Object Type:

  Adjust Infotype Assignment:
  
  If the infotype is not allowed for the object type, you may need to adjust the assignment or create a new infotype structure that is compatible.
  
  
  
  Check for Customizations:
  
  If there are any custom developments or enhancements in your SAP system, ensure that they are not interfering with the standard infotype processing.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or notes related to the specific infotype and object type to understand any restrictions or requirements.
