• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CK058 - System error when locking ?

  The SAP error message CK058 ("System error when locking") typically occurs in the context of the Controlling (CO) module, particularly during processes that involve material costing or when the system is trying to lock certain resources for processing. This error can be caused by various issues, including database locks, inconsistencies in the system, or problems with the configuration.
  Causes:
  
  Database Lock Issues: The error may arise if there are existing locks on the database that prevent the system from acquiring the necessary locks for the operation you are trying to perform.
  Concurrency Issues: Multiple users or processes trying to access the same resource simultaneously can lead to locking conflicts.
  System Configuration: Incorrect configuration settings in the SAP system can lead to locking issues.
  Transport Requests: If there are ongoing transport requests that affect the same objects, it may lead to locking problems.
  Database Issues: Problems with the underlying database, such as corruption or performance issues, can also lead to locking errors.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check Locks: Use transaction code SM12 to check for existing locks. If you find locks that are no longer needed, you can delete them (ensure you have the necessary authorizations).
  Review Background Jobs: Check if there are any background jobs running that might be causing the locks. You can use transaction code SM37 to monitor background jobs.
  System Configuration: Review the configuration settings related to the Controlling module and ensure they are set up correctly.
  Transport Management: If the issue is related to transport requests, ensure that all transports are completed and that there are no pending requests that could be causing the locks.
  Database Health Check: Perform a health check on the database to ensure there are no underlying issues. This may involve working with your database administrator.
  Restart the Application Server: In some cases, restarting the application server can help clear up locking issues.
