• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 62186 - Customizing of condition types is being processed by "&" ?

  The SAP error message 62186, which states "Customizing of condition types is being processed by '&'", typically occurs when you attempt to customize condition types in the SAP system while another user is already working on the same customization. This is a locking mechanism in SAP to prevent conflicts and ensure data integrity.
  Cause:
  
  Concurrent Access: Another user is currently editing the same condition type in the customizing settings.
  Session Lock: The system has a lock on the condition type due to an open session or transaction that has not been properly closed.
  Background Jobs: A background job might be running that is accessing the same condition type.
  
  Solution:
  
  Wait and Retry: If another user is working on the condition type, you may need to wait until they finish and release the lock. You can check with your colleagues to see if someone is currently editing it.
  Check Active Sessions: Use transaction code SM12 to check for active locks in the system. You can look for locks related to the condition type you are trying to customize. If you find a lock that seems to be stale (i.e., the user is no longer active), you may need to contact your SAP Basis team to release the lock.
  Log Off and Log Back In: Sometimes, simply logging off and back into the system can clear any session-related issues.
  Contact SAP Basis Team: If you are unable to resolve the issue, it may be necessary to involve your SAP Basis team to investigate further and release any locks that are causing the issue.
