• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FB_ICRC139 - Company &1: No recalculation of totals. Data is locked by &3 ?

  The SAP error message FB_ICRC139 indicates that there is an issue with recalculating totals for a specific company code because the data is locked by another user or process. This typically occurs in the context of financial postings or when trying to execute certain transactions that require access to financial data.
  Cause:
  
  
  Data Locking: The primary cause of this error is that the data you are trying to access is currently locked by another user or process. This can happen if:
  
  Another user is currently processing transactions that affect the same data.
  A background job is running that locks the data for processing.
  A previous transaction did not release the lock properly.
  
  
  
  Concurrency Issues: In a multi-user environment, concurrent access to financial data can lead to locking issues, especially during month-end or year-end closing processes.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Wait and Retry: If the lock is temporary (e.g., another user is processing data), you may need to wait for the other user to complete their transaction and then try again.
  
  
  Identify the Lock: You can use transaction codes like SM12 (Display and Delete Locks) to identify which user or process is holding the lock. This will help you understand if you need to wait or if you can take further action.
  
  
  Contact the User: If you identify the user or process that is holding the lock, you can reach out to them to see if they can release the lock or if they are aware of the situation.
  
  
  Check Background Jobs: If a background job is causing the lock, you may need to check the job status in transaction SM37 (Job Monitoring) and see if it can be canceled or if it is expected to finish soon.
  
  
  System Administrator Intervention: If the lock persists and you cannot identify the cause, you may need to involve a system administrator to investigate further. They can check for any system-level issues or locks that may not be visible to regular users.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with transaction codes like SM12 for lock management, SM37 for job monitoring, and SE16N for data table access.
  User Roles and Permissions: Ensure that users have the appropriate roles and permissions to access the data they need without causing locks.
  Best Practices: Implement best practices for data entry and processing to minimize locking issues, such as scheduling batch jobs during off-peak hours and ensuring users are trained on proper transaction handling.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the FB_ICRC139 error and proceed with your financial transactions in SAP.
