• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message AM180 - Data being maintained by user &; display only ?

  The SAP error message AM180 ("Data being maintained by user &; display only") typically occurs in the Asset Accounting (FI-AA) module when a user attempts to change or edit asset data that is currently being maintained or locked by another user. This is a common scenario in environments where multiple users are working on asset data simultaneously.
  
  Cause:
  
  Concurrent Access: Another user is currently editing the asset data, which locks the record for editing.
  Transaction Lock: The asset is being processed in a transaction that requires exclusive access, such as during a posting or a mass change.
  User Lock: The asset may be locked by a specific user due to a previous session or transaction that has not been completed.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Wait and Retry: If the asset is being edited by another user, wait for that user to finish their changes and then try again.
  Check Lock Entries: Use transaction code SM12 to check for any lock
