  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FINS_FI_MASS_DATA120 - &1 does not support repeated runs ?

    The SAP error message FINS_FI_MASS_DATA120 indicates that a specific mass data processing job or transaction cannot be executed multiple times in succession. This error typically arises in the context of financial data processing, where certain operations are designed to be run only once to maintain data integrity and avoid conflicts.

    Cause:

    1. Single Execution Requirement: The operation you are trying to perform is designed to be executed only once. This could be due to the nature of the data being processed, where repeated execution could lead to inconsistencies or data corruption.
    2. Locking Mechanism: The system may have a locking mechanism in place that prevents the same job from being executed again until the previous execution is completed or has been properly terminated.
    3. Configuration Settings: There may be specific configuration settings in the SAP system that restrict the execution of certain mass data jobs to a single run.

    Solution:

    1. Check Job Status: Verify if the previous run of the job is still active or has not completed. You can do this by checking the job status in transaction SM37 (Job Monitoring).
    2. Wait for Completion: If the job is still running, you may need to wait for it to complete before attempting to run it again.
    3. Review Logs: Check the logs for the previous execution to see if there were any errors or issues that need to be addressed before re-running the job.
    4. Adjust Configuration: If you have the necessary permissions, review the configuration settings related to the mass data processing job to see if it can be adjusted to allow for repeated runs.
    5. Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation or help resources for the specific transaction or job you are working with to understand its limitations and requirements.
    6. Contact SAP Support: If the issue persists and you cannot determine the cause, consider reaching out to SAP support for assistance.

    Related Information:

    • Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as SM37 (Job Monitoring), SM21 (System Log), and SLG1 (Application Log) to help diagnose the issue.
    • SAP Notes: Search for SAP Notes related to the specific error message or the transaction you are using. SAP Notes often provide solutions or workarounds for known issues.
    • User Permissions: Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to execute the job and access the relevant logs and configurations.

    By following these steps, you should be able to identify the cause of the error and take appropriate action to resolve it.
