  Error Message
  WY070: Personnel master record & does not exist
  
  Cause
  This error occurs when the system tries to access a personnel master record (infotype data) for an employee number (PERNR) that does not exist in the SAP HR (Human Resources) system. The personnel number referenced is either incorrect, not yet created, or has been deleted.
  Common scenarios include:
  
  Attempting to display or change HR data for a personnel number that has not been created.
  Using an incorrect personnel number in a transaction or report.
  Data inconsistencies or missing records due to incomplete personnel administration processes.
  Integration issues where external systems reference personnel numbers not maintained in SAP.
  
  
  Solution
  To resolve the error, consider the following steps:
  
  
  Verify Personnel Number:
  
  Check if the personnel number entered is correct.
  Use transaction PA20 (Display HR Master Data) or PA30 (Maintain HR Master Data) to verify if the personnel record exists.
  
  
  
  Create Personnel Record if Missing:
  
  If the personnel number does not exist, create a new personnel master record using PA40 (Personnel Actions).
  Ensure all mandatory infotypes (e.g., 0000 - Actions, 0001 - Organizational Assignment) are maintained.
  
  
  
  Check for Deletion or Lock:
  
  Verify if the personnel record was deleted or locked.
  Use transaction PA30 to check the status or consult your HR administrator.
  
  
  
  Correct Integration Data:
  
  If the error occurs during data transfer or integration (e.g., payroll, time management), ensure the personnel number is correctly mapped and exists in SAP.
  
  
  
  Check Custom Code or Reports:
  
  If the error arises in custom programs or reports, verify that the personnel number passed to the program is valid.
  Add error handling or validation to prevent referencing non-existent personnel numbers.
