• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CC114 - BOM is locked by & ?

  The SAP error message CC114 indicates that a Bill of Materials (BOM) is locked by a user or process, preventing any modifications or access to that BOM until the lock is released. This can occur in various scenarios, such as when a user is editing the BOM, or if a background job is processing data related to that BOM.
  Cause:
  
  User Lock: A user is currently editing the BOM in the BOM maintenance transaction (e.g., CS01, CS02, CS03).
  Background Job: A background job is processing the BOM, which can include tasks like mass changes or updates.
  System Lock: The system may have a lock due to a previous transaction that did not complete properly.
  Transaction Errors: If a transaction was interrupted (e.g., due to a system crash), it might leave the BOM in a locked state.
  
  Solution:
  
  Identify the Locking User: Check who is locking the BOM. You can use transaction code SM12 to view and manage locks. Look for the user indicated in the error message.
  Release the Lock: If the locking user is identified and it is safe to do so, you can manually release the lock from transaction SM12. Be cautious when doing this, as it may disrupt the user's work.
  Wait for Completion: If the lock is due to a background job, you may need to wait for the job to complete. You can check the status of background jobs using transaction SM37.
  Check for Incomplete Transactions: If the lock persists, check for any incomplete transactions that may need to be resolved. You can use transaction SM21 to check the system log for errors.
  Contact the User: If a specific user is locking the BOM, consider reaching out to them to understand if they are still working on it or if they can release the lock.
