• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message BC_BOR153 - This flight entry cannot be locked (table SFLIGHT) ?

  The SAP error message BC_BOR153, which states "This flight entry cannot be locked (table SFLIGHT)," typically occurs when there is an attempt to lock a record in the SFLIGHT table, but the record is already locked by another user or process. This can happen in scenarios where multiple users are trying to access or modify the same flight entry simultaneously.
  Causes:
  
  Record Locking: The most common cause is that another user or transaction is currently editing or has locked the record in the SFLIGHT table.
  Long-running Transactions: If a transaction takes too long to complete, it may hold the lock on the record longer than expected.
  Database Issues: Sometimes, database issues or inconsistencies can lead to locking problems.
  User Session Issues: If a user session is terminated unexpectedly, it may leave locks in place.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Wait and Retry: If the record is locked by another user, you may need to wait for that user to complete their transaction and then try again.
  Check Lock Entries: Use transaction code SM12 to check for existing locks on the SFLIGHT table. You can see which user or process is holding the lock and take appropriate action.
  Release Locks: If you have the necessary authorizations, you can manually release locks from the SM12 transaction. Be cautious with this approach, as it may disrupt other users.
  Optimize Transactions: If you frequently encounter this issue, consider optimizing the transactions that access the SFLIGHT table to reduce the time locks are held.
  Review User Sessions: Ensure that user sessions are properly managed and terminated to avoid orphaned locks.
