• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message EZ118 - Worklist &1 &2 is being processed by user &3 ?

  The SAP error message EZ118 indicates that a worklist item (identified by &1 and &2) is currently being processed by another user (identified by &3). This typically occurs in scenarios where multiple users are trying to access or modify the same worklist item simultaneously, leading to a lock situation.
  
  Cause:
  
  Concurrent Access: Another user is currently working on the same worklist item, which prevents you from accessing it.
  Lock Mechanism: SAP uses a locking mechanism to ensure data integrity. When a user opens a worklist item, it gets locked for editing by that user.
  Long Processing Time: If the user who has the worklist item open takes a long time to process it, other users will be unable to access it until the lock is released.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Wait and Retry: The simplest solution is to wait for the other user to finish processing the worklist item. You can periodically check if the item is available.
