• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CACSMD311 - Contract &1 is currently being processed by &2 ?

  The SAP error message CACSMD311 indicates that a contract (identified by &1) is currently being processed by another user or session (identified by &2). This typically occurs in scenarios where multiple users or processes are trying to access or modify the same contract simultaneously, leading to a lock situation.
  
  Cause:
  
  Concurrent Access: Another user or background job is currently editing or processing the contract.
  Lock Mechanism: SAP uses a locking mechanism to prevent data inconsistencies. When a contract is being processed, it is locked for other users until the processing is complete.
  Long-running Transactions: If a transaction takes a long time to complete, it can lead to prolonged locks on the contract.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Wait and Retry: The simplest solution is to wait for the other user or process to complete its operation and then try again.
  Check Lock Entries: Use transaction code SM12 to check for lock entries. You can see which user is holding the lock
