How To Fix FMAVC125 - User &1 locks &2

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: FMAVC - Message class AVC funds management

• Message number: 125

• Message text: User &1 locks &2

What causes this issue?

Availability control requests a lock by calling the ENQUEUE function
module ENQUEUE_E_EFMAVCT. This lock cannot be set up because another SAP
transaction is using the lock in question.
Technical information: The C_ENQUEUE routine returned the following
values:
COLLISION_OBJECT = E_EFMAVCT
COLLISION_UNAME = &V1&
The lock object refers to the cover group &V2&.

System Response

The ENQUEUE function module triggers an appropriate exception. If this
exception was not intercepted by the application program, this leads
automatically to the active SAP transaction being cancelled.

How to fix this error?

Look in the lock table to establish which user or transaction is using
the requested lock (<LS>Tools -> Administration -> Monitor -> Lock
entries</>). You may need to contact the user in question.
Since the ENQUEUE module ENQUEUE_E_EFMAVCT is called with the parameter
_WAIT, you may also try to avoid the observed lock collision by changing
some system parameters (see note 6822).

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FMAVC125 - User &1 locks &2 ?

  The SAP error message FMAVC125 "User &1 locks &2" typically occurs in the context of the Funds Management (FM) module when a user tries to access or modify a budget or commitment that is currently locked by another user. This locking mechanism is in place to prevent concurrent modifications that could lead to data inconsistencies.
  Cause:
  
  Concurrent Access: Another user is currently editing or has locked the budget or commitment item you are trying to access.
  Session Timeout: A previous session may not have released the lock due to a timeout or an unexpected termination.
  System Configuration: The system may be configured to lock certain objects for specific operations, leading to this error when another user is already working on it.
  
  Solution:
  
  Wait and Retry: If the lock is temporary, wait for the other user to finish their work and then try again.
  Identify the Locking User: Use transaction code SM12 to check for locks in the system. You can see which user has locked the object and potentially contact them to release the lock.
  Release the Lock: If you have the necessary authorizations, you can manually release the lock from transaction SM12. However, this should be done with caution to avoid data inconsistencies.
  Check for Long-Running Transactions: If a user is taking too long, it may be worth investigating if they are stuck or if there is a legitimate reason for the extended lock.
  System Configuration Review: If this issue occurs frequently, it may be worth reviewing the system configuration and user access patterns to optimize how locks are managed.
