    The SAP error message "00303: You cannot process more than one session with this function" typically occurs when a user attempts to execute a function or transaction that is designed to allow only a single session at a time. This can happen in various scenarios, such as when trying to run a report or transaction that locks the session for processing.

    Cause:

    1. Multiple Sessions: The user is trying to execute a transaction or function that is already running in another session.

    3. Use Transaction Codes: If you are using a specific transaction code, ensure that you are not trying to execute it in multiple windows or tabs.
    4. Check for Background Jobs: If the function is being executed as a background job, ensure that it is completed before trying to run it again.
    5. Consult with SAP Basis Team: If the issue persists, it may be necessary to consult with your SAP Basis team to check for any system-level locks or configurations that might be causing the issue.

    Related Information:
