Message PG 184.

Long text says:

Diagnosis

    You have attempted to change employee/applicant data which, however, can
    only be done if you have exclusive access to this data. This means that
    you must lock the data for other users before changing it, which you
    have not done.



Procedure

    You can probably solve your problem only by modifying the program.

hi,

before using the BAPI, lock the Employee by calling FM,

Lock the employee for processing infotype 9004

CALL FUNCTION 'HR_EMPLOYEE_ENQUEUE'

EXPORTING

number = v_pernr.

after changing the Employee address through BAPI, unlock the emploee by calling FM

Unlock the employee

CALL FUNCTION 'HR_EMPLOYEE_DEQUEUE'

EXPORTING

number = v_pernr.

hope this will solve your problem.

reward points if it is useful.

Have you called the function module BAPI_EMPLOYEE_ENQUEUE before BAPI_ADDRESSEMP_CHANGE? The first FM locks the Employee data there by providing you to change the employee info.
