Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FSH_ARUN_MSG197 - Order &1, item &2, line &3 is allocated by &4 ?

  The SAP error message FSH_ARUN_MSG197 indicates that a specific order item is allocated by another process or transaction, which prevents the current operation from proceeding. This message typically arises in the context of order management, particularly in the Fashion Management module of SAP.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when:
  
  An order item (identified by the order number, item number, and line number) is currently locked or allocated by another user or process.
  This could happen due to concurrent processing where multiple users or transactions are trying to access or modify the same order item simultaneously.
  The allocation might be due to a previous transaction that has not yet been completed or released.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check for Locks:
  
  Use transaction code SM12 to check for any locks on the order item. Look for the user or process that is holding the lock.
  If you find a lock that is no longer needed, you can release it (if you have the necessary authorizations).
  
  
  
  Identify the Allocating Process:
  
  The error message indicates which user or process is currently allocating the order item (denoted by &4 in the message). You may need to communicate with that user to understand why the item is locked.
  
  
  
  Wait for Completion:
  
  If the allocation is due to a legitimate process (e.g., a batch job or another user), you may need to wait until that process completes before attempting your operation again.
  
  
  
  Review Custom Code:
  
  If you have custom developments or enhancements in your SAP system, review them to ensure they are not causing unnecessary locks or allocations.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Check SAP Notes or documentation related to the Fashion Management module for any known issues or additional troubleshooting steps.
  
  
  
  Contact Support:
  
  If the issue persists and you cannot identify the cause, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or SAP directly for assistance.
