• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CP106 - Routing &1 is being edited by &2 ?

  The SAP error message CP106 indicates that a routing (identified by &1) is currently being edited by another user (identified by &2). This typically occurs in the context of production planning and control when multiple users attempt to access or modify the same routing simultaneously.
  Cause:
  
  Concurrent Access: The primary cause of this error is that another user has locked the routing for editing. SAP locks objects to prevent data inconsistencies that can arise from simultaneous modifications.
  Long Edit Sessions: If a user is taking a long time to edit the routing, it can lead to other users being unable to access it.
  System Issues: Occasionally, system issues or bugs can lead to improper locking of objects.
  
  Solution:
  
  Wait and Retry: The simplest solution is to wait until the other user has finished editing the routing. You can periodically check if the routing is still locked.
  Contact the User: If you know who the user is, you can contact them to see if they can finish their edits or release the lock.
  Check Lock Entries: You can use transaction code SM12 to check for lock entries. This will show you which user is currently editing the routing and allow you to see if the lock is still active.
  Release Locks: If necessary and if you have the appropriate authorizations, you can manually release the lock from transaction SM12. However, this should be done with caution, as it may lead to data inconsistencies if the other user is still making changes.
  Review System Performance: If this issue occurs frequently, it may be worth reviewing system performance and user practices to minimize the time spent editing routings.
