• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message HRHCP00_COLLECTION101 - Data collection without object lock; cost object &1 &2 is not locked ?

  The SAP error message HRHCP00_COLLECTION101 indicates that there is an issue with data collection in the Human Resources (HR) module, specifically related to the locking of cost objects. The message states that data collection is being attempted without an object lock, which can lead to inconsistencies or conflicts in data processing.
  Cause:
  The error typically occurs due to one of the following reasons:
  
  Object Locking Mechanism: The cost object (e.g., a cost center, internal order, etc.) is not locked during the data collection process. This can happen if the locking mechanism is not functioning correctly or if the object is being accessed by multiple processes simultaneously.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the SAP system that are not set up correctly, leading to the inability to lock the cost object.
  Concurrency Issues: If multiple users or processes are trying to access or modify the same cost object at the same time, it can lead to this error.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the HRHCP00_COLLECTION101 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Object Locking:
  
  Ensure that the cost object is being properly locked before data collection. You may need to review the locking logic in your custom programs or configurations.
  Use transaction SM12 to check for existing locks on the cost object. If there are locks that should not be there, you can delete them (with caution).
  
  
  
  Review Configuration:
  
  Check the configuration settings related to data collection and object locking in the HR module. Ensure that all necessary settings are correctly configured.
  Consult with your SAP Basis team to ensure that the locking mechanism is functioning as expected.
  
  
  
  Monitor Concurrent Access:
  
  If multiple users or processes are accessing the same cost object, consider implementing a queuing mechanism or adjusting the workflow to prevent concurrent access issues.
  
  
  
  Debugging:
  
  If the issue persists, you may need to debug the program or process that is generating the error. Look for any custom code that may be interfering with the locking mechanism.
  
  
  
  Consult SAP Notes:
  
  Check the SAP Support Portal for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error message. There may be patches or updates available that resolve known issues.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as SM12 (for lock entries), SE80 (for development), and SE37 (for function modules) to investigate further.
  SAP Documentation: Review SAP documentation related to HR data collection and object locking for best practices and troubleshooting tips.
  SAP Community: Engage with the SAP Community forums to see if other users have encountered similar issues and what solutions they have found.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the root cause of the HRHCP00_COLLECTION101 error and implement a solution to resolve it.
