• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PT_TMW_HEADER_CUST014 - Infotype &1 has no subtype &2 ?

  The SAP error message PT_TMW_HEADER_CUST014 indicates that there is an issue with the infotype configuration in the SAP system. Specifically, the message states that the infotype specified (denoted by &1) does not have a subtype defined (denoted by &2). This typically occurs in the context of time management infotypes, which are used to manage employee time data.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Subtype: The primary cause of this error is that the infotype you are trying to access or process does not have a corresponding subtype defined in the system. Subtypes are used to categorize data within an infotype.
  Configuration Issues: There may be a configuration issue in the system where the infotype has been set up incorrectly or incompletely.
  Data Entry Error: The user may have entered an invalid subtype for the infotype during data entry.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Infotype Configuration:
  
  Go to the SAP transaction code SPRO (Customizing) and navigate to the relevant configuration for the infotype in question.
  Ensure that the infotype has the necessary subtypes defined. You can check this under the path: Personnel Management > Personnel Administration > Infotypes > Define Subtypes.
  
  
  
  Create Missing Subtype:
  
  If the subtype is indeed missing, you may need to create it. This can be done in the same configuration area where you check for existing subtypes.
  Make sure to define the subtype correctly, including any necessary attributes and settings.
  
  
  
  Validate Data Entry:
  
  If the error occurred during data entry, verify that the correct subtype is being used. Ensure that the user is selecting a valid subtype that exists for the specified infotype.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making any changes, test the infotype functionality to ensure that the error no longer occurs.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
