  The SAP error message FIRU_RECON_REP042 indicates that a reconciliation report is currently in process and cannot be changed until it is completed. This typically occurs in the context of financial reconciliation processes within SAP, where reports are generated to reconcile accounts or transactions.
  Cause:
  
  Report in Progress: The primary cause of this error is that the reconciliation report identified by the parameters (&1; &2) is still being processed. This means that the system is currently executing the report, and any attempts to modify it will be blocked until the process is finished.
  Long Processing Time: If the report is taking longer than expected to process, it may appear to be stuck, leading users to attempt changes prematurely.
  System Locking Mechanism: SAP employs locking mechanisms to prevent data inconsistencies. If a report is being generated, it locks the report for changes.
  
  Solution:
  
  Wait for Completion: The simplest solution is to wait for the report to finish processing. You can check the status of the report in the relevant transaction (e.g., transaction code for reconciliation reports) to see if it is still running.
  Check Background Jobs: If the report is running as a background job, you can check the status of background jobs using transaction code SM37. Look for the job associated with the report and see if it is still active or if it has completed.
  Cancel the Job: If the report seems to be stuck and is taking too long, you may consider canceling the job from SM37 if you have the necessary permissions. After canceling, you can attempt to rerun the report.
  Review Logs: If the report fails to complete, review the logs for any errors or issues that may have caused the delay. This can provide insights into whether there are underlying data issues or system performance problems.
  Contact Support: If the issue persists and you cannot determine the cause, it may be necessary to contact your SAP support team or consult SAP Notes for further assistance.
  
  Related Information:
