1X154 - Details

• The SAP error message "1X154 The processing is in the background" typically indicates that a request or job has been submitted for background processing, and the system is currently processing it. This message is not necessarily an error but rather an informational message indicating that the operation you initiated is being handled in the background.
  
  Cause:
  
  Background Job Submission: The operation you attempted (like a report, data upload, or batch processing) has been submitted to run in the background rather than in the foreground.
  Long-Running Processes: The task may take a significant amount of time to complete, prompting the system to process it in the background to avoid blocking the user interface.
  System Configuration: The system may be configured to handle certain types of requests in the background by default.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Job Status: You can check the status of the background job using transaction codes like SM37 (Job Monitoring) to see if it has completed
