• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message EEDM_CALC_INST143 - Formula allocation &1 is already being processed ?

  The SAP error message EEDM_CALC_INST143 indicates that a formula allocation is already being processed, which means that the system has detected that the same allocation process is currently running or has not yet completed. This can happen in various scenarios, such as when multiple users or processes attempt to execute the same allocation formula simultaneously.
  Cause:
  
  Concurrent Execution: Another user or process is already executing the same formula allocation.
  Long-Running Process: The previous execution of the formula allocation is taking longer than expected, causing subsequent attempts to be blocked.
  System Locking: The system may have a locking mechanism that prevents multiple instances of the same allocation from running at the same time.
  
  Solution:
  
  Wait and Retry: If you encounter this error, wait for a few moments and then try to execute the allocation again. The previous process may complete shortly.
  Check Running Processes: Use transaction codes like SM50 or SM66 to check for any active processes that might be running the same allocation. If you find a stuck or long-running process, you may need to investigate further.
  Review Logs: Check the application logs or the job logs to see if there are any errors or warnings related to the allocation process that might provide more context.
  System Administration: If the issue persists, consult with your SAP Basis team or system administrator to investigate any potential locking issues or to terminate any stuck processes if necessary.
  Batch Job Management: If the allocation is part of a scheduled batch job, ensure that the job is not set to run multiple times concurrently.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with transaction codes like SM37 (to check job logs) and SM21 (to view system logs) for troubleshooting.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to the specific version of SAP you are using.
  Documentation: Review the documentation for the specific allocation formula you are using to ensure that it is set up correctly and that there are no configuration issues.
  
  If the problem continues after trying the above solutions, it may be necessary to escalate the issue to SAP support for further assistance.
