• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FAP_PP060 - Data Inconsistency: Proposal was updated in Database by others ?

  The SAP error message FAP_PP060 indicates a data inconsistency issue where a proposal has been updated in the database by another user or process while you were trying to access or modify it. This typically occurs in environments where multiple users or processes are working with the same data simultaneously, leading to conflicts.
  Cause:
  
  Concurrent Access: Another user or background process has modified the proposal after you retrieved it but before you attempted to save your changes.
  Database Locking: The proposal may have been locked by another transaction, preventing your changes from being saved.
  Session Timeout: If your session has been idle for too long, the data may have been updated by another user or process.
  Data Integrity Issues: There may be underlying data integrity issues in the database that are causing inconsistencies.
  
  Solution:
  
  Refresh the Data: Reload the proposal data to ensure you have the most current version. This can often be done by navigating away from the screen and returning or using a refresh button.
  Check for Updates: If you are aware of other users who might be working on the same proposal, communicate with them to understand what changes have been made.
  Reapply Changes: After refreshing, reapply your changes to the proposal and attempt to save again.
  Lock Management: If you suspect that a lock is causing the issue, check the lock entries in the system (transaction code SM12) to see if the proposal is locked by another user. If necessary, you may need to wait for the lock to be released or contact the user who has the lock.
  Session Management: Ensure that your session is active and not timing out. If you have been idle for a long time, log back in and try again.
  Consult Logs: Check the application logs (transaction SLG1) for any additional error messages or information that might provide more context about the inconsistency.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as SM12 (for lock entries), SLG1 (for application logs), and SE11 (for data dictionary) to investigate further.
  User Communication: In a collaborative environment, maintaining clear communication with team members can help avoid conflicts and data inconsistencies.
  SAP Notes: Check the SAP Support Portal for any relevant SAP Notes that might address this specific error or provide patches or updates that could resolve underlying issues.
