• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FKK_CM101 - Number of locked work items: &1 ?

  The SAP error message FKK_CM101, which states "Number of locked work items: &1," typically occurs in the context of contract management or financial transactions within the SAP system. This error indicates that there are a certain number of work items that are locked, preventing the system from processing further actions related to those items.
  Cause:
  
  
  Locked Work Items: The primary cause of this error is that there are work items in the system that are currently locked. This can happen due to various reasons, such as:
  
  A user is currently processing the work item.
  A previous transaction did not complete successfully, leaving the work item in a locked state.
  System errors or crashes that lead to work items being left in a locked state.
  
  
  
  Concurrency Issues: Multiple users or processes trying to access or modify the same work item simultaneously can lead to locking issues.
  
  
  Database Locks: Sometimes, database-level locks can occur due to long-running transactions or deadlocks.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Identify Locked Work Items: Use transaction codes like SM12 (for lock entries) to identify which work items are locked. This will help you understand the scope of the issue.
  
  
  Release Locks: If you have the necessary authorizations, you can manually release the locks on the work items. Be cautious when doing this, as releasing locks can lead to data inconsistencies if the work item is still being processed by another user.
  
  
  Check User Sessions: Ensure that no users are inadvertently holding locks on work items. You can check active user sessions using transaction SM04.
  
  
  Review Background Jobs: If the locking issue is related to background jobs, review the job logs to identify any failures or long-running jobs that may be causing the locks.
  
  
  System Restart: In some cases, a system restart may be necessary to clear any lingering locks, especially if they are due to system errors.
  
  
  Consult SAP Notes: Check the SAP Support Portal for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional troubleshooting steps.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as SM12 (to view and manage lock entries), SM21 (to view system logs), and ST22 (to check for dumps).
  User Authorizations: Ensure that users have the appropriate authorizations to access and modify work items.
  Performance Monitoring: Regularly monitor system performance and user activity to prevent locking issues from occurring in the future.
  
  If the problem persists after trying the above solutions, it may be necessary to involve your SAP Basis team or SAP support for further investigation.
