• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FBZ_WF017 - Maintenance of proposal run already started, for example, of & (&) ?

  The SAP error message FBZ_WF017 indicates that a proposal run for a payment run has already been initiated and is currently in progress. This error typically occurs in the context of the automatic payment program (APP) when you attempt to create a new proposal while another one is still being processed.
  Cause:
  
  Concurrent Proposal Runs: The most common cause is that a proposal run is already active for the same selection criteria or parameters.
  System Lock: The system may have a lock on the proposal due to ongoing processing, which prevents new proposals from being created until the current one is completed.
  User Error: Sometimes, users may inadvertently try to create a new proposal without realizing that one is already in progress.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Active Proposals: 
  
  Go to the transaction code F110 (Automatic Payment Transactions).
  Check the status of the proposal runs. If a proposal is currently being processed, you will need to wait until it completes.
  
  
  
  Wait for Completion: If you find that a proposal is indeed running, you will need to wait for it to finish. You can monitor the status in the same transaction.
  
  
  Cancel or Delete Proposal: If you have the necessary authorizations and it is appropriate to do so, you can cancel or delete the existing proposal. This can be done in the same transaction (F110) by selecting the proposal and choosing the option to delete or cancel it.
  
  
  Check for Locks: If you suspect that the system is locked due to a long-running process, you can check for locks using transaction SM12. If you find any locks that are no longer needed, you can release them (with caution).
  
  
  Review Logs: Check the application logs (transaction SLG1) for any additional information or errors that might provide context for the issue.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as F110 (Automatic Payment Transactions), SM12 (Display and Delete Locks), and SLG1 (Application Log).
  User Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to view and manage payment proposals.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might address specific issues related to the payment program or this error message.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP Basis or technical team for further investigation.
