  The SAP error message "42313 - Where-used list canceled" typically occurs when a user attempts to generate a where-used list for a particular object (like a material, BOM, or other master data) but the operation is canceled, either by the user or due to some system issue.
  Causes:
  
  User Cancellation: The most common cause is that the user manually cancels the operation before it completes.

  Solutions:
  
  Retry the Operation: If the cancellation was accidental, simply try to generate the where-used list again.
  Check for Locks: Use transaction codes like SM12 to check if the object is locked by another user. If it is, you may need to wait until the lock is released.
  Increase Timeout Settings: If timeouts are a frequent issue, consider discussing with your SAP Basis team to adjust the timeout settings for long-running operations.
  Performance Monitoring: Monitor system performance to identify any bottlenecks. This may involve checking system resources, database performance, and network issues.
  Check for Updates: Ensure that your SAP system is up to date with the latest patches and updates, as some issues may be resolved in newer versions.
