The SAP error message
/DSD/SL_FSR028 Invoice data already being processed by user &1
typically indicates that a specific invoice is currently being processed by another user in the system. This is a common concurrency issue in SAP, where multiple users attempt to access or modify the same data simultaneously.Cause:
- Concurrent Processing: Another user is currently editing or processing the same invoice.
- Session Lock: The system has placed a lock on the invoice data to prevent data inconsistencies.
- Long Running Transactions: If a user has a long-running transaction, it may hold the lock for an extended period.
Solution:
- Wait and Retry: The simplest solution is to wait for the other user to finish processing the invoice and then try again.
- Check User Sessions: If you have access, check which user is currently processing the invoice. You can do this using transaction codes like
SM04
(User Overview) orSM12
(Lock Entries) to see if the invoice is locked by another user.- Contact the User: If you identify the user, you can reach out to them to see if they can complete their processing or release the lock.
- System Administrator Intervention: If the lock persists and you cannot identify the user, you may need to contact your SAP system administrator. They can release the lock if necessary, but this should be done with caution to avoid data inconsistencies.
- Review Transaction Logic: If this error occurs frequently, it may be worth reviewing the transaction logic to ensure that it handles concurrent processing more gracefully.

SAP messages fall into 3 different categories: Error messages
(message type = E), Warnings (W) or Informational (I) messages.
An error message will prevent you from continuing your work - it is a hard stop and you need to fix the error before you can proceed. A warning message will stop your work, however, you can then bypass the warning by pressing the Enter key on your keyboard. That said, it is still good practice to investigate the cause of the warning message and address it. An information message will not stop your work and is truly just for informational purposes.
