• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FB_ICRC017 - Company &1: Data selection is already running ?

  The SAP error message FB_ICRC017 indicates that a data selection process is already running for the specified company code. This typically occurs in the context of financial processes, such as when trying to execute a report or transaction that requires data selection, but another instance of that process is already in progress.
  Cause:
  
  Concurrent Execution: The most common cause is that a data selection job or report is already being executed for the same company code. This can happen if multiple users are trying to run the same report or transaction simultaneously.
  Long-Running Processes: If a previous data selection process is taking longer than expected, it may block subsequent attempts to run the same process.
  System Locking: SAP may have internal locks that prevent the same operation from being executed concurrently to ensure data integrity.
  
  Solution:
  
  Wait and Retry: If you encounter this error, the simplest solution is to wait for the current data selection process to complete and then try again.
  Check Running Jobs: Use transaction codes like SM37 (Job Monitoring) to check if there are any jobs running for the same company code. If you find a job that is stuck or taking too long, you may need to investigate further.
  Cancel Stuck Jobs: If you identify a job that is not progressing, you may need to cancel it. This can be done in SM37 by selecting the job and choosing the option to cancel it.
  User Coordination: If multiple users are trying to run the same report, coordinate with your team to avoid concurrent executions.
  System Logs: Check system logs for any additional information or errors that might provide insight into why the data selection is taking longer than expected.
