• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 26183 - Original is checked out: checked in original is displayed ?

  The SAP error message "26183 Original is checked out: checked in original" typically occurs in the context of SAP Document Management System (DMS) or when dealing with documents that are version-controlled. This error indicates that the original document is currently checked out by a user, and therefore, you cannot perform certain actions (like checking in a new version) until the document is checked back in.
  Cause:
  
  Document Checked Out: The original document is checked out by another user or the same user in a different session. This means that the document is locked for editing or versioning until it is checked back in.
  User Permissions: The user may not have the necessary permissions to check in or modify the document.
  Session Issues: Sometimes, if a user has multiple sessions open, it may lead to confusion regarding the document's status.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Document Status: Verify who has the document checked out. You can do this by navigating to the document management area in SAP and checking the status of the document.
  Check In the Document: If you have access, ask the user who has the document checked out to check it back in. If you are the one who checked it out, ensure you check it back in.
  Force Check-In: If the user who has the document checked out is unavailable, and you have the necessary permissions, you may be able to force a check-in of the document. This is usually done by an administrator.
  Clear Sessions: If you suspect that the issue is due to multiple sessions, log out of all sessions and log back in to see if the issue persists.
  Permissions Review: Ensure that your user role has the necessary permissions to check in documents.
