• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message BC_BOR152 - This flight entry is already locked (table SFLIGHT) ?

  The SAP error message BC_BOR152 indicates that a specific flight entry in the SFLIGHT table is currently locked, preventing any modifications or updates to that entry. This typically occurs in a multi-user environment where multiple users or processes are trying to access or modify the same data simultaneously.
  Cause:
  
  Concurrent Access: Another user or process is currently editing or has locked the flight entry in the SFLIGHT table.
  Transaction Lock: A transaction that was initiated by a user or program has not been completed, leaving the entry locked.
  Long-running Transactions: If a transaction takes too long to complete, it can lead to locks being held for an extended period.
  Database Locking Mechanism: SAP uses a locking mechanism to ensure data integrity, which can lead to this error if the entry is already locked.
  
  Solution:
  
  Wait and Retry: If the lock is temporary, waiting for a few moments and then retrying the operation may resolve the issue.
  Check Lock Entries: Use transaction code SM12 to check for existing locks. You can view the locks held by users and identify if your user ID or another user is holding the lock on the specific flight entry.
  Release Locks: If you find that a lock is held unnecessarily (e.g., a user has left a session open), you can release the lock from the SM12 transaction. However, be cautious when doing this, as it may lead to data inconsistency if the other user is still working on the data.
  Review Long-running Transactions: If the issue is due to long-running transactions, review the processes to optimize them or ensure they complete in a timely manner.
  Consult with Basis Team: If the issue persists, it may be necessary to consult with your SAP Basis team to investigate further, as they can provide insights into system performance and locking behavior.
