• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FDM_MIRROR098 - A new global company code &1 is currently being created by user &2 ?

  The SAP error message FDM_MIRROR098 indicates that a new global company code is currently being created by another user. This message typically arises in the context of the Financial Data Management (FDM) module when there is an attempt to create or modify a company code that is already in the process of being created by another user.
  Cause:
  
  Concurrent User Activity: The primary cause of this error is that two users are trying to create or modify the same global company code simultaneously. SAP locks the company code during the creation process to prevent data inconsistencies.
  Session Timeout: If a user has started the creation process and left the session open for an extended period, the system may still consider that user as active, leading to this error for other users trying to create the same company code.
  
  Solution:
  
  Wait and Retry: The simplest solution is to wait for the other user to complete their task. Once the company code creation is finished, you can attempt to create or modify the company code again.
  Identify the User: If you have access to system logs or transaction codes (like SM04 or SU01), you can identify the user who is currently creating the company code. You may want to communicate with that user to understand their progress.
  Check for Locks: Use transaction code SM12 to check for any locks on the company code. If you find a lock that seems to be stale (i.e., the user is no longer active), you may need to contact your SAP Basis team to release the lock.
  System Administration: If the issue persists, it may require intervention from your SAP Basis or system administration team to investigate further and resolve any underlying issues.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with transaction codes like SM04 (User Overview), SM12 (Lock Entries), and SU01 (User Maintenance) to manage user sessions and locks.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for more details on managing company codes and understanding locking mechanisms in SAP.
  User Training: Ensure that users are trained on the proper procedures for creating company codes to minimize the chances of concurrent creation attempts.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the error and successfully create or modify the global company code in SAP.
