• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CMM_TRM_DEND043 - You cannot edit &1 and &2 as this combination is already in use ?

  The SAP error message CMM_TRM_DEND043 indicates that you are trying to edit a combination of certain data elements (denoted as &1 and &2) that is already in use or locked by another process or transaction.
