• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CU008 - Dependency & is already being processed by & ?

  The SAP error message CU008, which states "Dependency & is already being processed by &," typically occurs in the context of the SAP Change and Transport System (CTS) or when dealing with transport requests and dependencies between objects. This error indicates that there is a conflict because a particular object (like a transport request or a change) is already being processed by another user or session.
  
  Cause:
  
  Concurrent Processing: The most common cause of this error is that two users or processes are trying to process the same transport request or object simultaneously.

  Long-running Processes: If a transport request is taking a long time to process, it may lead to this error if another attempt is made to process the same request.
