• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FDT_CORE010 - Data cannot be saved; missing lock ?

  The SAP error message FDT_CORE010 indicates that data cannot be saved due to a missing lock. This typically occurs in scenarios where data integrity is crucial, and the system is trying to prevent concurrent modifications that could lead to inconsistencies.
  Cause:
  
  
  Missing Lock: The error usually arises when the system expects a lock on a particular data object (like a record or a transaction) but finds that the lock is not present. This can happen if:
  
  The lock was not set due to a previous error.
  The lock was released prematurely.
  There is a timeout or a session issue.
  Another user or process is currently holding the lock.
  
  
  
  Concurrency Issues: If multiple users or processes are trying to access or modify the same data simultaneously, it can lead to locking issues.
  
  
  System Configuration: Sometimes, the configuration of the system or the specific transaction might not be set up to handle locking correctly.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Lock Entries: Use transaction code SM12 to check for existing lock entries. If you find that a lock is held by another user or process, you may need to wait for it to be released or contact the user holding the lock.
  
  
  Retry the Operation: If the error was due to a temporary issue, simply retrying the operation after a short wait might resolve the problem.
  
  
  Session Management: Ensure that your session is active and not timed out. If you suspect a session issue, log out and log back into the system.
  
  
  Review Code/Configuration: If you are a developer or have access to the configuration, review the code or settings related to the transaction to ensure that locks are being set and released correctly.
