FINS_FI_DEFSUM006 - Details

• The SAP error message FINS_FI_DEFSUM006 indicates that a data processing job cannot be started because a project (identified by the project number &1) is currently running. This is a common issue in SAP systems when multiple processes are trying to access or modify the same data simultaneously.
  
  Cause:
  
  Concurrent Processing: The project specified is already being processed by another job. This can happen if a long-running job is still active, and another job is trying to start that requires the same resources or data.

  Job Scheduling: There may be a scheduling conflict where jobs are not properly sequenced, leading to attempts to start a new job while another is still in progress.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Running Jobs: Use transaction codes like SM37 (Job Monitoring) to check
