  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /ACCGO/CAS_FLLW_MSG593 - Object for document (&1/&2) is locked by user &3 ?

    The SAP error message /ACCGO/CAS_FLLW_MSG593 indicates that a specific document (identified by the document type and number) is currently locked by another user. This typically occurs in scenarios where multiple users are trying to access or modify the same document simultaneously, leading to a conflict.

    Cause:

    1. Document Locking: SAP uses a locking mechanism to prevent data inconsistencies. When a user opens a document for editing, it gets locked for that user. If another user tries to access the same document, they will encounter this error.
    2. Long Processing Time: If a user has the document open for an extended period, it may remain locked, preventing others from accessing it.
    3. Session Issues: Sometimes, a user may have an active session that is not properly closed, leading to a lock on the document.

    Solution:

    1. Wait and Retry: If the document is locked by another user, the simplest solution is to wait until that user has finished their work and released the lock. You can periodically check if the document is still locked.
    2. Identify the Locking User: You can use transaction code SM12 to view the list of locks in the system. Here, you can identify the user who has locked the document.
    3. Contact the Locking User: If possible, reach out to the user who has the document locked and ask them to release it if they are done with their work.
    4. Release the Lock: If the locking user is unavailable or has left the session, a system administrator can manually release the lock using transaction SM12. However, this should be done with caution to avoid data inconsistencies.
    5. Check for Background Jobs: Sometimes, background jobs may hold locks on documents. Check if any background processes are running that might be causing the lock.

    Related Information:

    • Lock Management: Understanding how SAP handles locks can help in troubleshooting. Locks can be exclusive (preventing all other access) or shared (allowing read access).
    • Transaction Codes:
      • SM12: To view and manage locks.
      • SM21: To check system logs for any related issues.
      • SU01: To check user details and sessions.
    • Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for more details on document locking and handling errors related to it.

    By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the locking issue and access the document as needed.
