• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DFS_LM_FPLAN020 - Order & was updated automatically (intersession event) ?

  The SAP error message DFS_LM_FPLAN020 indicates that an order was updated automatically due to an intersession event. This typically occurs in the context of SAP's Logistics Management or Production Planning modules, where certain processes or transactions are interdependent and can trigger automatic updates.
  Cause:
  
  Interdependencies: The error often arises when there are interdependencies between different sessions or transactions in SAP. For example, if one session updates an order while another session is trying to access or modify the same order, it can lead to this message.
  Background Jobs: Sometimes, background jobs or batch processes may update orders automatically, which can lead to this message if a user is trying to perform an action on the same order simultaneously.
  Locking Mechanisms: SAP uses locking mechanisms to prevent data inconsistencies. If a user tries to access an order that is being updated by another process, this message may appear.
  
  Solution:
  
  Refresh the Session: If you encounter this message, try refreshing your session or reloading the transaction. This can help you get the latest data.
  Check for Background Jobs: Investigate if there are any background jobs or processes that might be updating the order. You can check the job logs in transaction SM37.
  Review Lock Entries: Use transaction SM12 to check for lock entries related to the order. If you find locks that are no longer needed, you may release them (with caution).
  Wait and Retry: If the order is being updated by another process, it may be best to wait a few moments and then try your action again.
  Consult with Basis Team: If the issue persists, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP Basis team to investigate any underlying system issues or configurations that may be causing frequent intersession events.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to this error message. SAP frequently updates its knowledge base with solutions for common problems.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as SM37 (Job Monitoring), SM12 (Lock Entries), and SM21 (System Log) to help diagnose the issue.
  Documentation: Review SAP documentation related to the specific module you are working with (e.g., Production Planning, Order Management) for more context on how intersession events are handled.
  
  If the problem continues to occur frequently, it may be indicative of a larger issue within the system that requires further investigation.
