• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FSBP_CC_GUI051 - Data cleansing case contains locked business partners ?

  The SAP error message FSBP_CC_GUI051 indicates that a data cleansing case contains locked business partners. This typically occurs in the context of SAP Business Partner (BP) management, particularly when you are trying to perform data cleansing activities on business partners that are currently locked for editing or processing.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by one or more business partners being locked in the system. This can happen for several reasons:
  
  User Lock: A user may have locked the business partner for editing, which prevents other users from making changes.
  System Lock: The business partner may be locked due to ongoing processes or transactions that are being executed in the background.
  Data Cleansing Process: If a data cleansing case is initiated, and it includes business partners that are locked, the system will not allow the cleansing process to proceed.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Lock Status:
  
  Use transaction code SM12 to check for any locks on the business partners. You can filter by the user or the business partner ID to see if there are any active locks.
  
  
  
  Release Locks:
  
  If you find that a user has locked the business partner, you can either wait for the user to release the lock or, if necessary, you can delete the lock entry (if you have the necessary authorizations).
  
  
  
  Check Background Jobs:
  
  Use transaction code SM37 to check if there are any background jobs that might be locking the business partner. If a job is running, you may need to wait for it to complete.
  
  
  
  Review Data Cleansing Case:
  
  If the data cleansing case is not critical, consider removing the locked business partners from the case and re-running the cleansing process.
