• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FKKINV735 - Printing lock was set ?

  The SAP error message FKKINV735 indicates that a printing lock has been set for an invoice or document in the SAP system. This typically occurs when a document is being processed for printing, and the system prevents further actions on that document to avoid inconsistencies or duplication.
  Cause:
  
  Concurrent Processing: The document is currently being printed or processed by another user or job.
  Incomplete Processing: The document may not have been fully processed or finalized, leading to a lock being placed on it.
  System Configuration: Certain configurations in the SAP system may enforce printing locks for specific document types or statuses.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Document Status: Verify the status of the document in question. If it is currently being printed, wait for the process to complete.
  Identify Locking User/Job: Use transaction codes like SM12 (to check for locks) to identify if another user or job is holding the lock on the document.
  Release the Lock: If you have the necessary authorizations, you can manually release the lock using transaction SM12. Be cautious when doing this, as it may lead to inconsistencies if the document is still being processed.
  Reprocess the Document: Once the lock is released, you can attempt to print the document again.
  Consult with Basis Team: If the issue persists, it may be necessary to consult with your SAP Basis team to investigate any underlying system issues or configurations that may be causing the lock.
