• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CRM_ORDER070 - Transaction is being distributed; creation of follow-up not allowed ?

  The SAP error message CRM_ORDER070 indicates that a transaction is currently being distributed, and as a result, the creation of a follow-up document is not allowed. This typically occurs in the context of SAP Customer Relationship Management (CRM) when there is an ongoing process that involves the distribution of data to other systems, such as SAP ERP or other connected systems.
  
  Cause:
  
  Ongoing Distribution: The primary cause of this error is that the transaction (e.g., a sales order, service order, etc.) is in the process of being distributed to another system. During this time, the system locks the transaction to prevent inconsistencies.
  Lock Mechanism: SAP uses a locking mechanism to ensure data integrity. If a transaction is locked for distribution, any attempt to create a follow-up document (like a follow-up order or an invoice) will be blocked until the distribution process is complete.
  Long-running Processes: Sometimes, the distribution process may take longer than expected
