• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message EEWA_NBASE138 - &1 &2: It is not possible to save data during a deletion process. ?

  The SAP error message EEWA_NBASE138 indicates that there is an attempt to save data while a deletion process is ongoing. This error typically arises in scenarios where a user or a process is trying to modify or save data in a system that is currently in the middle of deleting records or data entries.
  Cause:
  
  Concurrent Operations: The most common cause of this error is that there are concurrent operations happening on the same data set. For example, if one user is deleting records while another user is trying to save changes to those records, this error can occur.
  Locking Mechanism: SAP uses a locking mechanism to prevent data inconsistencies. If a deletion process has locked the data, any attempt to save changes will trigger this error.
  Transaction State: The system may be in a specific transaction state that does not allow for data modifications while deletions are being processed.
  
  Solution:
  
  Wait for Deletion to Complete: If you are aware of a deletion process running, wait for it to complete before attempting to save your changes.
  Check for Locks: Use transaction codes like SM12 (to check for locks) to see if there are any active locks on the data you are trying to modify. If you find locks that are not being released, you may need to investigate further or contact your system administrator.
  Review Background Jobs: If the deletion is part of a background job, check the status of that job. If it is still running, you will need to wait until it finishes.
  Error Handling in Custom Code: If this error is occurring in custom ABAP code, ensure that proper error handling is in place to manage situations where deletions are in progress.
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or notes related to this error message for any specific guidance or patches that may address the issue.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with transaction codes like SM37 (to check job status) and SM21 (to view system logs) for troubleshooting.
  SAP Notes: Check the SAP Support Portal for any relevant SAP Notes that may provide additional insights or solutions related to this error.
  User Training: Ensure that users are trained on the importance of not performing concurrent operations on the same data set to avoid such conflicts.
