• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FIBL536 - Check number maintenance currently blocked by user & ?

  The SAP error message FIBL536, which states "Check number maintenance currently blocked by user," typically occurs when a user attempts to maintain check numbers in the system while another user has locked the check number range for editing. This can happen in scenarios where multiple users are trying to access the same check number range simultaneously, or if a previous session did not close properly.
  Cause:
  
  User Lock: Another user is currently editing or has locked the check number range.
  Session Issues: A previous session may not have been closed properly, leaving the check number range in a locked state.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings that are causing the check number maintenance to be blocked.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Locks: 
  
  Use transaction code SM12 to check for any active locks on the check number range. You can filter by the relevant user or object to see if there are any locks that need to be released.
  If you find a lock that is no longer needed, you can delete it (if you have the necessary authorizations).
  
  
  
  Wait and Retry: If another user is actively working on the check number maintenance, you may need to wait until they finish and release the lock.
  
  
  Session Management: 
  
  Ensure that all sessions are properly closed. If you suspect that a session is stuck, you may need to log off and log back in to clear any lingering locks.
  
  
  
  Contact Administrator: If you are unable to resolve the issue, contact your SAP system administrator. They can provide assistance in identifying the cause of the lock and may have the necessary permissions to release it.
  
  
  Review Configuration: If this issue occurs frequently, it may be worth reviewing the configuration settings related to check number maintenance to ensure they are set up correctly.
