• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PQ652 - Appraisal has already been given the status 'Completed' ?

  The SAP error message PQ652 indicates that an appraisal process has already been marked as 'Completed', and therefore, no further changes or actions can be taken on that appraisal. This is a common scenario in performance management or appraisal systems within SAP, where the status of an appraisal is critical for maintaining the integrity of the evaluation process.
  Cause:
  
  Status Lock: The appraisal has been finalized, and its status is set to 'Completed', which prevents any modifications or updates.

  Review Appraisal Status: Check the status of the appraisal in the system. If it is indeed marked as 'Completed', you will not be able to make changes.
