AFX_GLOBAL112 - Details

• The SAP error message AFX_GLOBAL112 indicates that parallel processing cannot be initiated because there are concurrent runs of the same process already in progress. This typically occurs in scenarios where a job or process is designed to run in parallel, but the system detects that another instance of the same job is currently executing.
  
  Cause:
  
  Concurrent Job Execution: The most common cause is that the same job or process is already running. SAP restricts multiple instances of the same job to prevent data inconsistencies or resource contention.

  Long-Running Processes: If a job takes longer than expected to complete, it may overlap with the next scheduled run, leading to this error.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Running Jobs: Use transaction codes like SM37 (Job Monitoring) to check for any currently running jobs that may be causing the conflict. If you find
