PAN exists in EC Payroll system (Infotype 0185) and can't be deleted.

What causes this issue?

There is PAN information for the employee in the Employee Central
Payroll system, but not in Employee Central.
Therefore, master data replication from Employee Central to Employee
Central Payroll is trying to overwrite, or delete, the PAN Card
information in Employee Central Payroll.
The deletion is not allowed: If an employee already has PAN information
in Employee Central Payroll, only updating it is allowed.

System Response

Replication fails.

How to fix this error?

Take the following steps before starting the replication again:
In the Employee Central Payroll system, go to the <LS>Maintain HR Master
Data </>(PA30) transaction.
Check the PAN Number for the employee in the <LS>Personnal IDs </>(0185)
infotype.
Do one of the following:
If the PAN Number is correct, add the same PAN Card for the employee in
the <LS>National IDs</> portlet in Employee Central.
If the PAN Number is not correct, either delete it from infotype 0185 or
add the correct PAN Card in the <LS>National IDs</> portlet in Employee
Central.
