• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FKKINV068 - An application log is already active for object &1 ?

  The SAP error message FKKINV068 indicates that an application log is already active for the specified object. This typically occurs in the context of the Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable (FI-CA) module when there is an attempt to create a new application log while one is already in progress for the same object.
  Cause:
  The error can be caused by several factors:
  
  Concurrent Processing: Another process or transaction is already creating or modifying an application log for the same object.
  System Lock: The system may have a lock on the application log due to a previous transaction that has not yet completed.
  Error in Previous Transaction: If a previous transaction that was supposed to create or modify the log failed, it might leave the log in an active state.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Active Logs: Use transaction code SLG1 to check for any active application logs related to the object in question. This will help you identify if there is indeed an active log that needs to be addressed.
  
  
  Wait and Retry: If the log is being processed by another transaction, you may need to wait for that transaction to complete before trying again.
  
  
  Terminate Stuck Processes: If you find that a process is stuck or has failed, you may need to terminate it. You can use transaction SM66 to monitor and manage active processes in the system.
  
  
  Clear Locks: If there are locks that are preventing the creation of a new log, you may need to clear them. This can sometimes be done through transaction SM12 (to delete lock entries).
  
  
  Check for Custom Code: If you have custom code that interacts with application logs, ensure that it is not inadvertently causing logs to remain active.
  
  
  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:
