• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message HRPAYNLLA_EN337 - Data of legal person &1 can only be displayed; modification is blocked ?

  The SAP error message HRPAYNLLA_EN337 indicates that the data for a legal person (in this case, a specific entity or organization) can only be displayed and cannot be modified. This typically occurs in the context of payroll or personnel administration within the SAP Human Capital Management (HCM) module.
  Cause:
  
  
  Data Locking: The data for the legal person may be locked for editing due to various reasons, such as:
  
  The data is in a closed period (e.g., payroll has been processed and finalized).
  The data is being accessed by another user or process.
  The user does not have the necessary authorization to modify the data.
  
  
  
  Configuration Settings: The system may be configured to restrict modifications to certain data types or during specific periods (e.g., after payroll has been run).
  
  
  Legal Compliance: Certain legal regulations may require that data for a legal entity be preserved in its original state for auditing or compliance purposes.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations: Ensure that the user attempting to make changes has the necessary authorizations to modify the data. This can be checked in the user roles and profiles.
  
  
  Review Data Locking: Investigate if the data is locked due to ongoing processes. If another user is accessing the data, wait until they are finished. If the data is locked due to a closed payroll period, you may need to consult with your payroll administrator.
  
  
  Modify Configuration Settings: If the restriction is due to configuration settings, consult with your SAP HCM administrator to determine if changes can be made to allow modifications under certain conditions.
  
  
  Use Display Mode: If modifications are not possible, you may need to work with the data in display mode and document any required changes for future processing.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or consult with SAP support for specific guidance related to your version and configuration of SAP HCM.
