• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 1R002 - The document is locked by user &1 ?

  The SAP error message 1R002 indicates that a document is currently locked by another user. This typically occurs when a user is editing or processing a document, and another user attempts to access or modify the same document simultaneously.
  
  Cause:
  
  Document Locking: SAP uses a locking mechanism to prevent data inconsistencies. When a user opens a document for editing, it gets locked for that user, preventing others from making changes until the lock is released.
  Session Timeout: Sometimes, if a user has an open session that times out, the document may remain locked until the session is properly closed or the lock is released.
  User Error: A user may have inadvertently left a document open or is still in the process of editing it.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Wait and Retry: If the document is locked by another user, the simplest solution is to wait until that user has finished their work and released the lock.
