The SAP error message HRRSM00253 indicates that certain infotypes (0000, 0001, and 0008) cannot be changed without a specific action being taken. This typically occurs in the context of personnel administration when trying to modify employee data that is subject to certain conditions or statuses.
Cause: Infotype Locking: The infotypes mentioned (0000 - Actions, 0001 - Organizational Assignment, 0008 - Basic Pay) are critical for employee records. They are often locked for changes unless a specific action (like hiring, termination, or other personnel actions) is performed. Action Requirement: Changes to these infotypes usually require a personnel action to be initiated. For example, if you are trying to change an employee's basic pay (infotype 0008), you may need to perform a "Change" action on infotype 0000 first. Status of Employee: The employee's current status (e.g., active, inactive, on leave) may also affect the ability to change these infotypes.
