• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message HRPAYHU487 - Tax no. (&1; company: &2) locked for change (&3)! Do you want to display? ?

  The SAP error message HRPAYHU487 indicates that a tax number for a specific employee (identified by &1) in a particular company (identified by &2) is locked for changes. This typically occurs in the context of payroll processing or employee data management in the SAP Human Resources (HR) module, particularly in the Hungarian payroll system.
  Cause:
  
  Data Locking: The tax number may be locked due to ongoing payroll processing, data updates, or other transactions that are currently being executed. This is a common scenario in systems where data integrity is crucial, and concurrent updates are restricted.
  User Permissions: The user attempting to make changes may not have the necessary permissions to modify the tax number.
  System Configuration: There may be specific configurations or settings in the SAP system that prevent changes to tax numbers under certain conditions.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Lock Status: Verify if the tax number is indeed locked. You can do this by checking the relevant tables or using transaction codes like SM12 (to check for locks) or PA30 (to view employee data).
  Wait for Processing to Complete: If the lock is due to ongoing payroll processing, you may need to wait until the process is completed. Once the payroll run is finished, the lock should be released.
  Contact System Administrator: If you believe the lock is in error or if you need to make urgent changes, contact your SAP system administrator or HR personnel to investigate and potentially unlock the record.
  Review User Permissions: Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to make changes to the tax number. If not, request the appropriate access from your system administrator.
  Display Option: If you want to view the details of the locked tax number, you can choose the option to display the information as prompted by the error message.
