  The SAP error message HRPIQDE_STAT_REPORT074 indicates that a selected run in the SAP system is locked, which prevents any actions from being executed on that run. This typically occurs in the context of HR (Human Resources) processes, particularly in the area of personnel administration or payroll.
  Cause:
  
  
  Locked Run: The most common cause of this error is that the selected run (e.g., payroll run, time evaluation run) is currently locked. This can happen if:
  
  The run is still being processed by another user or job.
  The run was not properly completed or was interrupted.
  There are pending actions or approvals that need to be resolved before the run can be unlocked.
  
  
  
  Authorization Issues: Sometimes, the user may not have the necessary authorizations to unlock or modify the run.
  
  
  System Configuration: There may be configuration settings in the system that enforce locking mechanisms for certain processes.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Lock Status:
  
  Use transaction code SM12 to check for locks in the system. Look for entries related to the specific run you are trying to access.
  If you find a lock that is no longer needed, you can delete it (if you have the necessary authorizations).
  
  
  
  Wait for Completion:
  
  If the run is being processed by another user or job, you may need to wait until that process is completed. You can check the status of background jobs using transaction code SM37.
  
  
  
  Unlock the Run:
  
  If you have the necessary authorizations, you can unlock the run manually. This may involve using specific transaction codes or following procedures defined by your organization.
