SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: 00 -

• Message number: 839

• Message text: Release not possible; an update request is still present for session &

What causes this issue?

When the batch input session was released, the system searched for
relevant update requests that were still present.
A relevant update record was found for the transaction with index &V2&
in session &V1&.
Once this session is released, it may get processed again AND the
existing update request may still not be posted.
This can cause duplicate data to be posted.

System Response

The system cannot release the session.

How to fix this error?

Analyze the relevant update request using transaction SM13:
User:,,&V3&
Date Time:,,&V4&

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

Check whether the update record can still be posted, which would make
the release unnecessary.
