I have doubt on Lock records.For couple of PERNRs Lock indicator(Lock symbol) is not visible when i check through PA20---overview-(Refer attached the screen one) but Lock symbol is visible if i go pa20-display-Lock indicator is visible.Refer screen 2.

Why the lock indicator is not visible in Overview mode.

Thanks

Actually this record is not created/Locked by USER, its created/Locked by employee itself through ESS portal.I could find USER ID of employee in the field UNAME. is it something employee have Lock authorization?

Check the employee's authorizations. Check the P_PERNR object.

If a manager/administrator has approval authority, his/her security profile needs to have update authority.

Problems are possible if the first such person was not available and the workflow went to the next one with approval authority but not with the necessary security profile.

what do u mean by locking record manually? I know only goto PA30-select the record which we need to lock-select lock-save-record locked.

What is actually manually locking ? i will test that also and see how SPRPS field populate

Yes that is what i meant by manually locking it.

The other way, is if a user has only Lock authorization, if he tries to create a record, it gets created with Locked status.

In addition to above issue, if i check SE16,PA0167 Lock indicator field  (SPRPS) displays as P genrally it should be X.Is there any difference between Lock indicator P and Lock indicator X.

In PA,i have noticed for IT006 subtype 4.

Thanks

I guess the indicator P is possible why the locked icon does not reflect on the Overview screen. Could you check if it's the same for IT 6 sty 4 also?

I haven't come across this indicator before, are you aware if the record was locked manually or created as a locked record to begin with?
