• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FQM_CORE001 - Data in company code &2 is locked by user &1 ?

  The SAP error message FQM_CORE001 indicates that data in a specific company code is locked by a user. This typically occurs when a user is currently processing or has an open session that is preventing other users from accessing or modifying the same data.
  Cause:
  
  User Lock: A user is currently editing or has an open session that locks the data in the specified company code.
  Transaction in Progress: A transaction that involves the company code is still in progress, which can lead to data being locked.
  System Error: Sometimes, a system error or an unexpected termination of a session can leave data in a locked state.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Identify the Lock:
  
  Use transaction code SM12 to view and manage locks. You can check which user is holding the lock on the specified company code.
  Enter the relevant company code and execute the transaction to see the list of locks.
  
  
  
  Release the Lock:
  
  If you have the necessary authorizations, you can manually delete the lock entry from the SM12 transaction. Be cautious when doing this, as it may disrupt the work of the user holding the lock.
  If the lock is held by a user who is no longer active (e.g., due to a session crash), you may need to release the lock.
  
  
  
  Communicate with the User:
  
  If the lock is held by another user who is actively working, it’s best to communicate with them to understand if they can complete their task or if they can log off to release the lock.
  
  
  
  Check for Long-Running Transactions:
  
  Investigate if there are any long-running transactions that might be causing the lock. If necessary, optimize the processes to avoid prolonged locks.
  
  
  
  System Administration:
  
  If the issue persists, it may require intervention from your SAP Basis team to investigate further, especially if there are systemic issues causing locks.
