• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 5G953 - Entry & was changed ?

  The SAP error message 5G953 ("Entry & was changed") typically occurs in the context of data entry or processing within SAP, particularly when there is a conflict or inconsistency in the data being processed. This message indicates that the entry you are trying to work with has been modified by another user or process since you last accessed it.
  Cause:
  
  Concurrent Access: Another user or process has changed the data while you were working on it.
  Data Locking: The entry may be locked for editing by another user, leading to a conflict when you attempt to save your changes.
  Background Processing: If there are background jobs or processes that update the same data, this can lead to changes that you are not aware of.
  
  Solution:
  
  Refresh the Data: Before making changes, refresh the data to ensure you are working with the most current version. You can do this by navigating away from the entry and then returning to it.
  Check for Locks: Use transaction codes like SM12 to check for locks on the entry. If another user has locked the entry, you may need to wait until they release it.
  Re-enter the Data: If you receive this message after trying to save your changes, you may need to re-enter your data after refreshing the screen.
  Communicate with Users: If you are in a multi-user environment, communicate with other users to understand if they are making changes to the same data.
  Error Handling: Implement error handling in your processes to manage such conflicts gracefully.
  
  Related Information:
