Talent Profile locking employee

[Former Member]

Helllo,

We are running into some locking issues with the Talent Profile in Employee Self Service. The employee/central person is being locked as soon as the employee opens their talent profile and holds the lock until the profile is closed again. The talent profile locks are particularily causing problems for us when payroll is running. If employees are in their Talent Profiles when payroll starts, we are unable to process the payroll until the employee closes out of their Talent Profile.

Has anyone else found a way to deal with this issue?

Other ESS services seem to only lock the employee when the save button is clicked, resulting in a much shorter lock time. Is there a reason the talent profile can't do the same?

Thanks for any advise you may have!

Hi

This is a pretty normal behaviour of SAP.

When an employee is modifying any Master data it is locked for others and also when Payroll is run MD is locked for all PERNRS whose payroll is being run.

So, when Payroll is run no MD changes can happen, Your profile is locked.

This is Standard SAP behaviour and this is no problem.

Hi Leah,

I've not heard of this issue and would recommend opening an OSS message. Possibly there is a customizing setting somewhere, but SAP should let you know as this shouldn't be standard functionality!

I'd be interested to see what the solution is.

Best regards,

Luke
