  The SAP error message 5N366 ("Not possible to modify relevant Payroll Data with TWK") typically occurs in the context of payroll processing when there is an attempt to modify payroll data that is locked or not allowed to be changed due to certain conditions. Here’s a breakdown of the cause, potential solutions, and related information:
  Cause:
  
  Payroll Lock: The payroll data for the employee may be locked because the payroll has already been processed for the period in question.
  Status of Payroll: The payroll run might be in a status that does not allow modifications (e.g., finalized or closed).
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to modify payroll data.
  Data Consistency: The system may prevent changes to ensure data consistency and integrity, especially if the payroll data is linked to other processes or reports.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check Payroll Status: Verify the status of the payroll run for the employee. If the payroll has been finalized, you may need to reverse or adjust the payroll run before making changes.
  Unlock Payroll Data: If the payroll data is locked, you may need to unlock it using appropriate transactions (e.g., using transaction code PC00_MXX_CALC for recalculating payroll).
  Authorization Check: Ensure that the user attempting to make the changes has the necessary authorizations. You may need to consult with your SAP security team.
  Use Correct Transaction: Ensure that you are using the correct transaction for modifying payroll data. Some transactions may not allow changes to payroll data directly.
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or notes related to payroll processing for any specific guidelines or restrictions that may apply to your organization’s configuration.
  
  Related Information:
