How To Fix COCM024 - Adding object &&& results in a conflict

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: COCM - Order Change Management

• Message number: 024

• Message text: Adding object &&& results in a conflict

What causes this issue?

A change master record was used to change an identifying attribute of a
BOM item (for example, material number). This change master record was
released for order change management (OCM). For one of the production
orders affected by these changes, the changes were determined and
checked. It was determined that the components in the production order
that corresponded to the BOM items were to be deleted and a new
component added. The change check resulted in a conflict of the type
"warning" or "error" for the addition request. Since the deletion
request is logically related to the addition request, the deletion
request also receives a conflict of the same type to draw attention to
the conflict of the addition request.

System Response

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

How to fix this error?

To maintain consistency in the production order in the case of the
seriousness of conflict "warning" after the original order has been
changed, you should choose identically for both the deletion request
and the addition request. Therefore, either set both requests to
"execute" or both to "do not execute". In the case of the seriousness
of conflict "error", the change requests must be set to "do not
execute".

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message COCM024 - Adding object &&& results in a conflict ?

  The SAP error message COCM024, which states "Adding object &&& results in a conflict," typically occurs in the context of SAP's Change and Transport System (CTS) or when managing objects in a transport request. This error indicates that there is a conflict when trying to add an object to a transport request, often due to the object already being included in another transport request or due to version conflicts.
  Causes:
  
  Object Already in Another Transport Request: The object you are trying to add is already included in a different transport request, which can lead to conflicts.
  Version Conflicts: There may be different versions of the object that are being modified simultaneously, leading to inconsistencies.
  Locking Issues: The object might be locked by another user or process, preventing you from adding it to your transport request.
  Transport Layer Issues: There may be issues with the transport layer configuration or settings that are causing conflicts.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check Existing Transport Requests: Use transaction code SE09 or SE10 to check if the object is already included in another transport request. If it is, you may need to remove it from that request or wait until it is released.
  Release Conflicting Transport Requests: If you have access, consider releasing any transport requests that may be causing the conflict.
  Check Object Lock Status: Use transaction code SM12 to check if the object is locked by another user. If it is, you may need to wait for the lock to be released or contact the user who has locked it.
  Review Object Versions: Ensure that you are working with the correct version of the object. If necessary, revert to a previous version or resolve any discrepancies.
  Consult Transport Layer Settings: Check the transport layer settings in transaction code SE03 to ensure that there are no misconfigurations that could be causing the conflict.
  Contact Basis Team: If the issue persists, it may be necessary to involve your SAP Basis team for further investigation and resolution.
