Reproducing the Issue
- Log in with admin permissions.

- Navigate to Personal Data.
- Open Payment Information.
- Observe the error message with Error Code: 500.
Cause
The Country/Region foundation object used by impacted employees (for example, their job country code) was set to Inactive, causing backend country resolution to fail when loading the Payment Information card.
Example:
Resolution
- Go to Manage Data and enable Include Inactive Records.
- Search for the relevant Country/Region foundation object used by impacted employees (for example, their job country code).
- If Status is Inactive, set it to Active and save.
Example:
Step 2:
- Validate by opening Personal Data > Payment Information; the card should load without the 500 error.
Also Optional (bulk correction):
Use Import and Export Data to export Country/Region objects, identify any entries with Status: Inactive that should be active, update them to Active, and re-import.
- If the issue persists after ensuring all relevant Country/Region records are Active, review Payment Information field configuration per referenced guidance and contact support with updated details.
