• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SRMHRPA021 - No subtype for this infotype, no entry required ?

  The SAP error message SRMHRPA021 indicates that there is no subtype defined for a specific infotype in the SAP system, and therefore, no entry is required for that infotype. This error typically occurs in the context of SAP HR (Human Resources) and can be related to various infotypes that are used to manage employee data.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Subtype: The infotype you are trying to access or modify does not have a defined subtype. In SAP HR, infotypes can have multiple subtypes, and if none are defined, the system will throw this error.
  Configuration Issues: There may be a configuration issue in the HR module where the infotype is not properly set up in the system.
  Data Entry Error: The user may be trying to enter data for an infotype that is not applicable or does not require any entries based on the current configuration.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Infotype Configuration:
  
  Go to the transaction code SPRO (SAP Project Reference Object) and navigate to the relevant configuration for HR infotypes.
  Ensure that the infotype in question has the necessary subtypes defined. You can check this under Personnel Management > Personnel Administration > Infotypes > Define Infotype Subtypes.
  
  
  
  Review Infotype Settings:
  
  Use transaction code PA30 to check the infotype settings for the employee in question. Ensure that the infotype is correctly configured and that the necessary subtypes are available.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review the SAP documentation or help files related to the specific infotype to understand its requirements and configurations.
  
  
  
  User Authorization:
  
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access and modify the infotype. Sometimes, lack of authorization can lead to misleading error messages.
  
  
  
  Contact SAP Support:
  
  If the issue persists after checking the configuration and settings, consider reaching out to SAP support for further assistance. They can provide insights based on the specific version and configuration of your SAP system.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Infotypes: Infotypes are data structures in SAP HR that store specific types of employee-related information (e.g., personal data, payroll data, etc.).

  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as PA30 (Maintain HR Master Data), PA20 (Display HR Master Data), and SPRO (Customizing) for configuration tasks.
