• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SHCM/EE_BP_S4_BL_RO019 - Change of data of role Employment for PersNo &1 with BP &2 is not allowed ?

  The SAP error message /SHCM/EE_BP_S4_BL_RO019 indicates that there is an issue with changing the employment data for a specific personnel number (PersNo) associated with a business partner (BP). This error typically arises in the context of managing employee data in the SAP system, particularly when using the Business Partner (BP) approach in S/4HANA.
  Cause:
  The error message usually occurs due to one of the following reasons:
  
  
  Data Locking: The employment data for the specified personnel number is locked for editing. This can happen if another user is currently editing the data or if there are ongoing processes that prevent changes.
  
  
  Incorrect Role Assignment: The role assigned to the business partner may not allow for the changes you are trying to make. For example, if the role does not have the necessary authorizations or if the role is not configured correctly.
  
  
  Data Consistency Issues: There may be inconsistencies in the data that prevent the system from allowing changes. This could be due to missing mandatory fields or incorrect data formats.
  
  
  System Configuration: The system may be configured in such a way that certain changes are restricted based on business rules or workflows.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Data Locking: Ensure that the personnel number is not being edited by another user. You can check for locks in transaction SM12 and release any unnecessary locks.
  
  
  Review Role Assignments: Verify that the business partner has the correct roles assigned that allow for the changes you are trying to make. You can check this in transaction BP (Business Partner) and ensure that the Employment role is correctly configured.
  
  
  Validate Data: Check the data you are trying to change for any inconsistencies or missing mandatory fields. Ensure that all required fields are filled out correctly.
  
  
  Consult Configuration: If the issue persists, consult with your SAP Basis or configuration team to review the system settings and ensure that there are no restrictions in place that would prevent the changes.
  
  
  Check Authorization: Ensure that the user making the changes has the necessary authorizations to perform the action. This can be checked in transaction SU53 after the error occurs.
  
  
  Review Documentation: Look into SAP Notes or documentation related to this specific error message for any additional insights or patches that may be required.
