• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FDC_POSTING_001015 - Items cleared or locked by another user in the meantime - input data lost ?

  The SAP error message FDC_POSTING_001015 indicates that the items you are trying to process have been cleared or locked by another user, resulting in the loss of input data. This typically occurs in scenarios where multiple users are trying to access or modify the same data simultaneously, leading to a conflict.
  Causes:
  
  Concurrent Access: Another user has already processed or cleared the items you are trying to work with.
  Session Timeout: Your session may have timed out, causing the data to be locked or cleared.
  Data Locking Mechanism: SAP uses a locking mechanism to prevent data inconsistencies. If another transaction locks the data, you will receive this error.
  Background Jobs: A background job may have processed the data while you were working on it.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Refresh the Data: Try refreshing the screen or reloading the transaction to see if the data is still available.
  Check for Locks: Use transaction code SM12 to check for locks on the data. If you find locks that are not needed, you can release them (if you have the necessary authorizations).
  Re-enter Data: If the data has been lost, you may need to re-enter it after confirming that no other user is working on the same items.
  Communicate with Users: If you are in a multi-user environment, communicate with your team to ensure that no one else is working on the same data.
  Review Background Jobs: Check if any background jobs have processed the data you are trying to access. You can use transaction SM37 to monitor background jobs.
  Increase Session Timeout: If session timeouts are frequent, consider discussing with your SAP Basis team about increasing the session timeout settings.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with transaction codes like SM12 (for lock entries), SM37 (for job monitoring), and SE11 (for data dictionary) to help troubleshoot issues.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to this error message.
  User Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to access and modify the data you are working with.
