• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CJ675 - Basic data lock removed from WBS element & ?

  The SAP error message CJ675 ("Basic data lock removed from WBS element &") typically occurs in the context of Project System (PS) when there is an attempt to change or access a Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) element that is currently locked for editing. This lock is usually in place to prevent concurrent changes that could lead to data inconsistencies.
  Cause:
  
  Concurrent Access: Another user or process is currently editing the WBS element, causing a lock.
  Transaction Interruption: A previous transaction that was editing the WBS element may have been interrupted, leaving the lock in place.
  System Configuration: Certain configurations or settings in the SAP system may lead to locks being applied more frequently than necessary.
  
  Solution:
  
  Wait and Retry: If the lock is due to another user, wait for them to finish their changes and then try again.
  Check Lock Entries: Use transaction code SM12 to check for lock entries related to the WBS element. If you find a lock that should not be there (e.g., from a user who is no longer active), you may need to delete that lock entry. Be cautious with this approach, as it can lead to data inconsistencies if not handled properly.
  Review User Activity: Communicate with team members to ensure that no one else is working on the same WBS element at the same time.
  System Restart: In some cases, a system restart may be necessary to clear any lingering locks, especially if they are due to a system error.
  Consult with Basis Team: If the issue persists, it may be necessary to involve your SAP Basis team to investigate any underlying system issues or configurations that could be causing excessive locking.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as CJ20N (Project Builder), CJ02 (Change WBS), and SM12 (Display and Delete Lock Entries).
  User Roles and Authorizations: Ensure that users have the appropriate roles and authorizations to access and modify WBS elements.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address known issues or bugs related to WBS locking.
  Documentation: Review SAP documentation or training materials related to Project System and WBS management for best practices in avoiding locking issues.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the CJ675 error and manage WBS elements more effectively in SAP.
