If you try to execute a different action or use a different effective date, you will be prompted that the personnel number is already flagged (see below). When you attempt to run any action for the record, both the effective date and action type will default to the entry in T77INT. This employee was moved a new position effective, but this change is not reflected in the IT0001. In this example, you would run action type 02 for employee Carl Hubbard to release his pre-booking lock. To check what action type, see table T77S0 and check entry PLOGI – EVCCC. Run the action type specified in the integration table will on the effective date of the change. PLOGI-EVCC determines which action you need to run to remove the flag.

PLOGI-EVCRE controls if a “flag” or pre-booking is created for an employee. short name EVXX and EVCRE are the two entries in this table that relate to pre-booking issues. The PLOGI ‘group’ dictates the integration of personnel planning and personnel development (OM) with other applications in the system such as PA and CO. If there is no change, PA does not automatically update T7750. The most common cause of this issue is changing the Account Assignment associated with either a position or org structure where there is no job change. This flag locks the employee master data on the PA side and can only be released by performing the action specified in table T77S0. When you transfer a position with an incumbent to a new company code, a ‘flag’ is created in the integration table T77INT. You will be unable to complete any actions until you remove the pre-booking lock. If you attempt to run an action for the employee, you will get a new message that reads Pers.number already flagged for. The error occurs when there is an organization change with no change in the assignment. SAP created a lock on employee master data when you transfer an employee across company codes to prevent changes until the corresponding assignment data is updated.

We will also show you how to prevent it from happening again. We will show you how to solve this problem in a few minutes, even if it involves a large number of records. When you maintain employee master data in SAP, you may encounter an error that reads Pre-booking exists for personnel number.
