  Check Payroll Status: Use transaction codes like PC00_MXX_CALC or PC00_MXX_CEDT to check the status of the payroll run. Ensure that it is not in a processing state before attempting to make changes.
  Review Locks: Check for any locks on the payroll data. You can use transaction SM12 to see if there are any active locks that might be causing the issue.
  Coordinate with Team: If multiple users are involved in payroll processing, coordinate with your team to ensure that changes are made at appropriate times when the payroll is not being processed.
  Error Handling: If you believe the payroll process should not be running, investigate further to ensure there are no unintended active payroll runs. You may need to consult with your SAP Basis or HR team for assistance.
