• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message EBR075 - System error while locking or batch records are already locked ?

  The SAP error message EBR075 indicates that there is a system error related to locking or that batch records are already locked. This typically occurs when multiple users or processes are trying to access or modify the same batch record simultaneously, leading to a conflict.
  Causes:
  
  Concurrent Access: Multiple users or processes are trying to access or modify the same batch record at the same time.
  System Locking Mechanism: SAP uses a locking mechanism to prevent data inconsistencies. If a record is already locked by another user or process, you will encounter this error.
  Long-running Transactions: If a transaction takes too long to complete, it may hold locks longer than expected, causing other transactions to fail.
  Database Issues: Sometimes, underlying database issues can lead to locking problems.
  Network Issues: Network interruptions can cause transactions to hang, leading to locks not being released properly.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Wait and Retry: If the error is due to concurrent access, waiting for a few moments and then retrying the operation may resolve the issue.
  Check Lock Entries: Use transaction code SM12 to check for existing locks. You can identify which user or process is holding the lock and take appropriate action.
  Release Locks: If you find that a lock is held unnecessarily, you can manually release it (if you have the necessary permissions) using transaction SM12.
  Review Long-running Transactions: Identify and optimize any long-running transactions that may be causing locks to persist longer than necessary.
  System Monitoring: Monitor the system for any performance issues that may be causing delays in processing and locking.
  Consult Basis Team: If the issue persists, it may be necessary to involve your SAP Basis team to investigate any underlying system or database issues.
