• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 3G235 - Posting run &1 &2 is locked (A rollback has occurred) ?

  The SAP error message 3G235 indicates that a posting run is locked due to a rollback that has occurred. This typically happens in the context of financial postings or document processing in SAP, where a transaction could not be completed successfully, leading to a rollback of the changes made during that transaction.
  Cause:
  
  Transaction Failure: The posting run may have encountered an error during processing, causing it to fail and roll back.
  Locking Issues: Another process or user might be holding a lock on the posting run, preventing it from being completed.
  Database Issues: There could be underlying database issues that caused the transaction to fail.
  Configuration Errors: Incorrect configuration settings in the system can lead to unexpected behavior during posting runs.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Lock Entries: Use transaction code SM12 to check for any lock entries related to the posting run. If you find any locks that are no longer needed, you can delete them (ensure that you have the necessary authorizations and that it is safe to do so).

  Consult Basis Team: If the issue persists, it may be necessary to involve your SAP Basis team to investigate any underlying database or system issues.
