  Review Changes: Identify the specific changes that are being attempted. If they involve infotypes that are locked during payroll processing (e.g., infotypes related to compensation, deductions, etc.), you will need to wait until the payroll run is complete.
  Use Correct Transactions: If you need to make changes to employee data, ensure you are using the correct transactions and that you are not trying to update data that is restricted during payroll.
  Consult with Payroll Administrator: If you are unsure about the changes you are trying to make, consult with your payroll administrator or HR personnel to understand the implications of the changes and the correct timing for them.
  Check Configuration: If the issue persists, review the configuration settings in the SAP system related to payroll processing to ensure they are set up correctly.
