• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CKCC108 - Cost estimate for material &1 in plant &2 is locked by user &3 ?

  The SAP error message CKCC108 indicates that a cost estimate for a specific material in a particular plant is currently locked by another user. This typically occurs when one user is in the process of creating or modifying a cost estimate, and another user attempts to access or change the same cost estimate simultaneously.
  Cause:
  
  User Locking: The cost estimate is being edited or processed by another user, which prevents other users from making changes to it.
  Transaction in Progress: A transaction related to cost estimation is still open, and the system has locked the record to maintain data integrity.
  System Configuration: Certain configurations in the SAP system may lead to locking mechanisms that prevent concurrent access to cost estimates.
  
  Solution:
  
  Wait and Retry: The simplest solution is to wait for the user who has locked the cost estimate to complete their transaction. Once they finish, the lock will be released, and you can proceed with your changes.
  Identify the Locking User: You can use transaction code SM12 to check which user has locked the cost estimate. This transaction allows you to view and manage locks in the system.
  Contact the Locking User: If possible, reach out to the user who has the lock and ask them to complete their work or release the lock if they are 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 Administrator Intervention: If the lock persists and you cannot identify the user or the reason for the lock, you may need to contact your SAP system administrator. They can help release the lock if necessary.
