• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message EPIC_ACTIONS351 - Payment run in progress ?

  The SAP error message "EPIC_ACTIONS351 Payment run in progress" typically indicates that a payment run is currently being processed in the system, and as a result, certain actions or transactions cannot be executed until the payment run is completed. This is a common scenario in financial processes where multiple transactions may be dependent on the completion of a payment run.
  Cause:
  
  Concurrent Payment Runs: Another user or process is currently executing a payment run, which locks the necessary tables or processes.
  System Configuration: The system may be configured to prevent overlapping payment runs to ensure data integrity.
  Long-Running Processes: The payment run may be taking longer than expected due to a large volume of transactions or system performance issues.
  
  Solution:
  
  Wait for Completion: The simplest solution is to wait until the current payment run is completed. You can check the status of the payment run in the relevant transaction (e.g., F110 for automatic payment transactions).
  Check Background Jobs: Use transaction code SM37 to check for any background jobs related to payment runs. If you find a job that is stuck or taking too long, you may need to investigate further.
  Communicate with Users: If you are in a multi-user environment, communicate with other users to determine if they are running a payment process.
  System Monitoring: If the payment run is taking an unusually long time, consider monitoring system performance or checking for any locks using transaction codes like SM12 (to check for locks) or SM21 (to check system logs).
  Restart Payment Run: If you have the necessary authorizations and it is determined that the payment run is stuck, you may need to cancel the current run and restart it. This should be done with caution and typically involves coordination with your finance team.
  
  Related Information:
