• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /ACCGO/TSDB247 - Data is locked by user &1; you can only display data ?

  The SAP error message /ACCGO/TSDB247 Data is locked by user &1; you can only display data indicates that the data you are trying to access is currently locked by another user (identified by &1). This typically occurs in scenarios where multiple users are trying to access or modify the same data simultaneously, and the system prevents changes to ensure data integrity.
  Cause:
  
  User Locking: Another user is currently editing or has locked the data you are trying to access.
  Transaction Lock: The transaction you are using may have a locking mechanism that prevents other users from making changes until the current user has finished.
  Session Timeout: Sometimes, if a user has an open session that has not been properly closed, it may still hold a lock on the data.
  
  Solution:
  
  Wait and Retry: If the lock is temporary, you can wait for the other user to finish their work and then try again.
  Check Lock Entries: You can check the lock entries in the SAP system using transaction code SM12. This will allow you to see which user is holding the lock and on which data.
  Contact the User: If you identify the user who has locked the data, you can contact them to see if they can release the lock.
  Release the Lock: If necessary and if you have the appropriate permissions, you can manually release the lock using transaction SM12. However, be cautious with this approach, as it may lead to data inconsistencies if the other user is still working on the data.
  Review Configuration: If this issue occurs frequently, it may be worth reviewing the configuration of the application or the locking mechanisms in place to see if adjustments can be made to reduce locking conflicts.
