  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message EDOCUMENT_ES_SII037 - Source &1&2&3 is locked ?

    The SAP error message EDOCUMENT_ES_SII037, which indicates that a source (identified by &1, &2, &3) is locked, typically occurs in the context of electronic document processing, particularly when dealing with the SII (Suministro Inmediato de Información) reporting in Spain.

    Cause:

    1. Locked Document: The source document or data you are trying to access or modify is currently locked. This can happen if another user or process is currently using the document.
    2. Transaction in Progress: If a transaction is being processed or if there are pending updates, the system may lock the document to prevent inconsistencies.
    3. User Permissions: The user may not have the necessary permissions to access or modify the document, leading to a lock status.
    4. System Configuration: There may be configuration settings in the SAP system that enforce locking mechanisms for certain documents or processes.

    Solution:

    1. Check Document Status: Verify if the document is indeed locked by another user or process. You can do this by checking the transaction logs or using transaction codes like SM12 (to view locked entries).
    2. Wait and Retry: If the document is locked due to another user, you may need to wait until the other user has completed their transaction and released the lock.
    3. Unlock the Document: If you have the necessary permissions, you can unlock the document using transaction SM12. However, be cautious when doing this, as it may lead to data inconsistencies if the other user is still working on it.
    4. Check User Permissions: Ensure that your user account has the appropriate permissions to access and modify the document. If not, contact your system administrator to adjust your permissions.
    5. Review Configuration: If the locking behavior seems unusual, review the system configuration related to document processing and locking mechanisms. This may require assistance from a technical consultant or SAP Basis team.

    Related Information:

    • Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as SM12 (to view and manage locks), SM21 (to check system logs), and ST22 (to analyze dumps).
    • SAP Notes: Check for any SAP Notes related to the error message EDOCUMENT_ES_SII037 for specific patches or updates that may address the issue.
    • Documentation: Review SAP documentation regarding electronic document processing and SII reporting for best practices and troubleshooting steps.
