• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FM_SPENH_E835 - Item &1/&2/&3 not processed because of locking error ?

  The SAP error message FM_SPENH_E835 indicates that an item (identified by &1, &2, &3) could not be processed due to a locking error. This typically occurs in scenarios where multiple users or processes are trying to access or modify the same data simultaneously, leading to a conflict.
  Cause:
  
  Locking Mechanism: SAP uses a locking mechanism to prevent data inconsistencies. If one user/process has locked a particular item, another user/process trying to access or modify that item will encounter a locking error.
  Long-running Transactions: If a transaction takes too long to complete, it may hold locks longer than expected, causing other transactions to fail.
  Deadlocks: In some cases, a deadlock situation may arise where two or more processes are waiting for each other to release locks.
  Configuration Issues: Incorrect configuration of the locking mechanism or related settings in the system can also lead to locking errors.
  
  Solution:
  
  Identify the Lock: Use transaction code SM12 to check for existing locks. You can filter by user or object to find out who is holding the lock on the item in question.
  Release the Lock: If you identify a lock that is no longer needed, you can manually delete it from the SM12 transaction. However, be cautious when doing this, as it may disrupt the user or process holding the lock.
  Retry the Operation: After the lock has been released, retry the operation that caused the error.
  Optimize Transactions: Review the transactions that are causing locks to ensure they are optimized and do not hold locks longer than necessary.
  Check for Deadlocks: If deadlocks are suspected, analyze the processes involved and adjust them to avoid such situations.
  Consult SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address specific issues related to locking errors in your version of SAP.
  
  Related Information:

  Performance Tuning: Consider performance tuning of the application to reduce the time locks are held.
  User Training: Ensure users are trained on how to properly manage transactions to minimize locking issues.
