• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /ECRS/BL_TD148 - Manual creation of items for declaration &1 is locked by user &2 ?

  The SAP error message /ECRS/BL_TD148 Manual creation of items for declaration &1 is locked by user &2 typically indicates that a user is trying to manually create items for a specific declaration (identified by &1) but is unable to do so because another user (identified by &2) has locked that declaration for editing.
  Cause:
  
  User Locking: The declaration is currently being edited by another user, which prevents other users from making changes to it simultaneously.
  Session Timeout: Sometimes, a user may have left a session open, causing a lock to persist even if they are no longer actively working on it.
  System Configuration: The system may be configured to allow only one user to edit a declaration at a time to prevent data inconsistencies.
  
  Solution:
  
  Wait for Release: The simplest solution is to wait until the user who has locked the declaration finishes their work and releases the lock.
  Contact the User: If possible, contact the user identified in the error message (&2) to see if they can finish their work or release the lock.
  Check Lock Entries: Use transaction code SM12 to check for lock entries. You can look for the specific lock related to the declaration and see if it can be released.
  Release Lock: If the user is no longer active and the lock is still present, a system administrator may need to release the lock manually using transaction SM12.
  Review Configuration: If this issue occurs frequently, it may be worth reviewing the system configuration to see if changes can be made to allow for better handling of concurrent edits.
