• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FIN_CS_MESSAGE106 - Selection is locked by &1. ?

  The SAP error message FIN_CS_MESSAGE106 with the description "Selection is locked by &1" typically occurs in the context of financial accounting or controlling processes, particularly when dealing with data selection in reports or transactions. This message indicates that the selection criteria you are trying to use is currently locked by another user or process.
  Cause:
  
  Concurrent Access: Another user or process is currently using the same selection criteria, which prevents you from accessing or modifying it.
  Long-Running Transactions: If a transaction is taking a long time to complete, it may hold a lock on the selection criteria until it finishes.
  System Configuration: Certain configurations in the SAP system may lead to locking mechanisms that prevent simultaneous access to specific data.
  
  Solution:
  
  Wait and Retry: If the lock is temporary (e.g., due to another user), wait for a few moments and then try again.
  Identify the Locking User: Use transaction SM12 (Display and Delete Locks) to check which user is holding the lock. You can look for the user ID mentioned in the error message (the &1 placeholder).
  Contact the User: If you identify the user holding the lock, you can contact them to see if they can release the lock or if they are done with their transaction.
  Release the Lock: If necessary and if you have the appropriate authorizations, you can manually delete the lock from transaction SM12. Be cautious with this approach, as it may disrupt the other user's work.
  Check for Long-Running Processes: Investigate if there are any long-running processes that might be causing the lock. You can use transaction SM66 (Global Work Process Overview) to monitor active processes.
  System Configuration Review: If this issue occurs frequently, it may be worth reviewing the system configuration or consulting with your SAP Basis team to optimize locking behavior.
