• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /ACCGO/DGR211 - Record locked by user &1; will remain display only ?

  The SAP error message /ACCGO/DGR211 Record locked by user &1; will remain display only indicates that a specific record in the system is currently locked by another user (identified by &1). This typically occurs when one user is editing or processing a record, preventing other users from making changes to it until the lock is released.
  Cause:
  
  User Locking: The record is being edited by another user, which causes it to be locked for editing by others.
  Session Timeout: Sometimes, if a user has an open session and does not log out properly, the record may remain locked.
  Background Jobs: A background job may be processing the record, causing it to be locked.
  Transaction Errors: If a transaction was interrupted or failed, it might leave the record in a locked state.
  
  Solution:
  
  Wait for Release: If the record is locked by another user, the simplest solution is to wait until that user has finished their work and the lock is released.
  Identify the Lock: Use transaction code SM12 to check for locks. You can see which user has locked the record and potentially contact them to resolve the issue.
  Release the Lock: If you have the necessary authorizations, you can manually release the lock in transaction SM12. However, this should be done with caution, as it may lead to data inconsistencies if the other user is still working on the record.
  Check Background Jobs: If a background job is causing the lock, you may need to wait for it to complete or check its status in transaction SM37.
  Session Management: Ensure that users log out properly after their sessions to avoid leaving records locked unintentionally.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes:
  
  SM12: To view and manage locks.
  SM37: To monitor background jobs.
  SM21: To check system logs for any related errors or issues.
  
  
  User Communication: If you identify the user who has locked the record, it may be helpful to communicate with them directly to understand their needs and coordinate access to the record.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or your organization's internal guidelines for handling locked records and user sessions.
  
  Always ensure that any actions taken to resolve locking issues are in line with your organization's policies and procedures to maintain data integrity and security.
