• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 68403 - Record is already being displayed in detail ?

  The SAP error message "68403 Record is already being displayed in detail" typically occurs when a user attempts to access a record that is already open in another session or by another user. This is a common issue in SAP systems where multiple users may be trying to access the same data simultaneously.
  Cause:
  
  Concurrent Access: The record you are trying to access is already being viewed or edited by another user or session.
  Session Management: If you have multiple sessions open in SAP, you might have inadvertently opened the same record in another session.
  Lock Mechanism: SAP uses a locking mechanism to prevent data inconsistencies. When a record is being edited, it is locked for other users.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Open Sessions: Review your open SAP sessions to see if you have the record open in another session. If so, close that session or navigate away from the record.
  Wait for Release: If another user is editing the record, you may need to wait until they finish and release the lock.
  Use Transaction Codes: If you are using a specific transaction code to access the record, ensure that you are not trying to access it in a way that conflicts with existing locks.
  Transaction SM12: If you have administrative access, you can check the lock entries using transaction code SM12. This will show you which user or session is holding the lock on the record. You can then decide whether to wait or, if necessary, release the lock (be cautious with this approach as it may lead to data loss).
  Contact Support: If the issue persists and you cannot identify the cause, consider reaching out to your SAP support team for assistance.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Lock Entries: Understanding how SAP handles lock entries can help you manage concurrent access issues. Each record can have multiple types of locks (exclusive, shared, etc.).
  User Training: Educating users on how to manage their sessions and avoid opening the same records can help reduce the occurrence of this error.
  System Configuration: In some cases, system configuration settings related to session management and locking behavior may need to be reviewed.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the error message and access the record you need.
