• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message C+105 - Material &1 &2 blocked by another user ?

  The SAP error message C+105, which states "Material &1 &2 blocked by another user," typically occurs when a user attempts to access or modify a material that is currently locked by another user. This locking mechanism is a part of SAP's concurrency control to prevent data inconsistencies when multiple users are trying to access or change the same data simultaneously.
  Cause:
  
  Concurrent Access: Another user is currently editing or processing the material in a transaction that locks it for exclusive access.
  Long-running Transactions: A transaction that takes a long time to complete may hold the lock longer than expected.
  System Errors: Occasionally, system errors or crashes can leave locks in place that are not released properly.
  
  Solution:
  
  Wait and Retry: The simplest solution is to wait for the other user to finish their transaction and then try again.
  Identify the Lock: Use transaction code SM12 to check for locks on the material. You can see which user is holding the lock and the transaction they are in.
  
  Enter the material number in the appropriate field to filter the locks.
  If you have the necessary authorizations, you can also release the lock if it is safe to do so.
  
  
  Communicate with the User: If you identify the user holding the lock, you can communicate with them to understand when they will be done.
  Check for Background Jobs: Sometimes, background jobs may also hold locks. You can check transaction SM37 to see if any background jobs are running that might be causing the lock.
  System Administration: If locks persist and are causing issues, it may require intervention from a system administrator to investigate further or to release locks that are no longer valid.
