• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message >3085 - Error occurred between account &1 and &2 when deleting the locked data ?

  The SAP error message 3085 typically indicates that there is an issue related to locked data during a deletion process between two accounts. This error can occur in various contexts, such as during financial postings, data migrations, or when trying to delete entries in the system that are currently locked or have dependencies.
  Cause:
  
  Locked Data: The error often arises when the system attempts to delete data that is currently locked by another process or user. This can happen if there are ongoing transactions or if the data is being accessed by another session.
  Dependencies: There may be dependencies between the accounts involved, such as open items, postings, or other linked data that prevent deletion.
  Authorization Issues: Sometimes, the user may not have the necessary authorizations to delete the data, leading to this error.
  Data Integrity Constraints: The system may have integrity constraints that prevent the deletion of certain records if they are referenced elsewhere.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Locks: Use transaction codes like SM12 (to check for locks) to identify if there are any active locks on the data you are trying to delete. If locks are found, you may need to wait for the other processes to complete or contact the user who has locked the data.
  Review Dependencies: Investigate if there are any open items or dependencies related to the accounts involved. You can use transaction codes like FBL1N (Vendor Line Item Display) or FBL3N (G/L Account Line Item Display) to check for open items.
  Authorization Check: Ensure that the user attempting the deletion has the necessary authorizations. You can check this in transaction SU53 after the error occurs to see if there are any authorization issues.
  Data Consistency: Ensure that the data is consistent and does not violate any integrity constraints. You may need to run consistency checks or consult with your SAP Basis team.
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP Notes or documentation related to this error message for any specific guidance or patches that may address the issue.
