  The SAP error message FMFG092 indicates that a FACTS II extract footnote is currently being edited by another user. This typically occurs in environments where multiple users are accessing and editing the same data simultaneously, leading to a conflict.
  Cause:

  Solution:
  
  Wait and Retry: If possible, wait for the other user to finish editing the footnote and then try again.
  Check User Sessions: If you have access, check the user sessions in the system to see if the other user is still active. You can use transaction codes like SM04 or AL08 to view active users.
  Contact the User: If you know who the other user is, you can reach out to them to coordinate editing efforts.
  System Administrator: If the issue persists and you cannot identify the other user, contact your system administrator. They may be able to release the lock or provide further assistance.
  Log Off and Log Back In: Sometimes, simply logging off and back into the system can resolve session-related issues.
