• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CM_EHHSS_RSK_ASSIGN001 - Risk assessment is locked by another user ?

  The SAP error message CM_EHHSS_RSK_ASSIGN001 indicates that a risk assessment is currently locked by another user. This typically occurs in the context of SAP's Environment, Health, and Safety (EHS) module, where multiple users may be trying to access or modify the same risk assessment simultaneously.
  Cause:
  
  Concurrent Access: Another user is currently editing the risk assessment, which locks the document to prevent conflicting changes.
  Session Timeout: A user may have left the risk assessment open, and the session has not timed out yet.
  System Locking Mechanism: SAP uses a locking mechanism to ensure data integrity, which can lead to this error if another user has the document open.
  
  Solution:
  
  Wait and Retry: If another user is editing the risk assessment, the simplest solution is to wait until they finish and release the lock. You can periodically check if the lock has been released.
  Identify the Locking User: If you have the necessary permissions, you can check which user has locked the risk assessment. This can often be done through transaction codes like SM12 (for lock entries) or SM21 (for system logs).
  Contact the User: If you identify the user who has the lock, you can reach out to them to see if they can save their work and release the lock.
  Force Unlock (if necessary): If the locking user is unavailable and the risk assessment needs urgent access, a system administrator can forcibly unlock the document using transaction SM12. However, this should be done with caution, as it may lead to data loss if the other user is still working on it.
  Check for Background Jobs: Sometimes, background jobs may also hold locks. Ensure that no background processes are running that could be causing the lock.
  
  Related Information:
  
  User Roles and Permissions: Ensure that users have the appropriate roles and permissions to access and edit risk assessments.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to locking mechanisms in the EHS module.
  Training and Best Practices: Educate users on best practices for editing shared documents to minimize locking issues, such as checking out documents or using version control if available.
  
  If the problem persists or if you encounter additional issues, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or refer to SAP documentation for further troubleshooting steps.
