• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message HRPAY99RU_RMS_DB100 - Object with key &1 is finalized and cannot be changed ?

  The SAP error message HRPAY99RU_RMS_DB100 with the description "Object with key &1 is finalized and cannot be changed" typically occurs in the context of HR (Human Resources) payroll processing. This error indicates that an attempt was made to modify a payroll object (such as a payroll result or a related data record) that has already been finalized. Once finalized, these records are locked for changes to ensure data integrity and compliance with payroll processing rules.
  Cause:
  
  Finalization of Payroll: The payroll process has been completed, and the results have been finalized. This means that the payroll data is now in a state where it cannot be altered.
  Incorrect Processing Sequence: There may have been an attempt to change payroll results or related data after the payroll has been closed or finalized.
  Data Locking: The system may have locked the object due to business rules or configurations that prevent changes to finalized records.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Payroll Status: Check the status of the payroll run for the employee or object in question. If it has been finalized, you will need to follow the appropriate procedures to handle finalized payroll data.
  Reopen Payroll: If changes are necessary, you may need to reopen the payroll period. This typically involves reversing the finalization process, which may require specific authorizations and should be done with caution.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to your organization's payroll processing documentation or SAP notes for specific procedures on handling finalized payroll records.
  Use Correction Procedures: If corrections are needed, consider using the appropriate correction procedures provided by SAP, such as creating a retroactive payroll run or using correction infotypes.
  Contact Support: If you are unsure how to proceed or if the issue persists, it may be beneficial to contact your SAP support team or consult with an SAP HR expert.

  User Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to make changes to payroll data, as restrictions may be in place to prevent unauthorized modifications.
  
  Always ensure that any changes to payroll data are compliant with your organization's policies and legal requirements.
