What causes this issue?

Errors were encountered when attempting to convert the employee's

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

System Response

When the system encounters errors during conversion, the errors are
reported in the Message Log, and final conversion ("commitment" to the
database) of the record(s) for the employee is stopped.
Since the four Tax Framework Infotypes are inter-related, all
infotypes to be converted for the employee relating to the same IT0224
record cannot be created without resolution of the reported problem(s).

Use the Message Log to determine the exact nature of the error. Then
use transaction PA30 to review and correct the Infotype 0224 record
which caused the error. The Conversion program can then be used to
