• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CY824 - Saving not possible. Last saving operation still running. ?

  The SAP error message CY824: Saving not possible. Last saving operation still running. typically occurs when a user attempts to save data in a transaction or process while a previous save operation is still in progress. This can happen in various SAP modules, particularly in those that involve data entry or processing, such as SAP Controlling (CO) or SAP Material Management (MM).
  Cause:
  
  Concurrent Save Operations: The most common cause is that a previous save operation has not yet completed. This can happen if the system is processing a large amount of data or if there are performance issues.
  System Locking: The system may have locked the data for the current user session while another session is still processing a save operation.
  Long-running Transactions: If a transaction takes too long to process, it can lead to this error when another attempt to save is made.
  Network Issues: Intermittent network connectivity can cause delays in the completion of save operations.
  
  Solution:
  
  Wait and Retry: The simplest solution is to wait for a few moments and then try saving again. This allows the previous operation to complete.
  Check for Background Jobs: If you have access, check the system's background jobs to see if there are any long-running jobs that might be causing the delay.
  Session Management: Ensure that you are not trying to perform multiple save operations in different sessions simultaneously. Close any unnecessary sessions.
  Transaction Monitoring: Use transaction codes like SM37 (Job Monitoring) to check for any jobs that might be running and causing the lock.
  System Performance: If this issue occurs frequently, it may be worth investigating the overall performance of the SAP system. Consult with your Basis team to analyze system performance and optimize it if necessary.
  Log Analysis: Check the application logs (transaction SLG1) for any related error messages that might provide more context on the issue.
