FCO_AVC_PS005 - Details

• The SAP error message FCO_AVC_PS005 indicates that a project (identified by &2) is currently being processed by another user or session (identified by &1). This typically occurs in the context of project management or project system (PS) transactions where concurrent access to the same project is restricted to prevent data inconsistencies.

  System Configuration: The system may be configured to restrict access to certain project-related transactions to ensure data integrity.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Wait and Retry: If the project is being processed by another user, the simplest solution is to wait until that user completes their transaction and then try again.
  Check Lock Entries: Use transaction code SM12 to check for lock entries related to the project.
