• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FSH_DEM_PIR044 - Locked entries are excluded, see the message log ?

  The SAP error message FSH_DEM_PIR044 indicates that certain entries are locked and therefore excluded from processing. This typically occurs in the context of demand planning or forecasting within the SAP system, particularly when working with the SAP Integrated Business Planning (IBP) or SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) modules.
  Cause:
  
  
  Locked Entries: The error arises when the system encounters entries that are currently locked by another user or process. This can happen if:
  
  Another user is editing the same data.
  A background job is running that is using the same data.
  The data is in a state that prevents it from being modified (e.g., it is being processed or has been marked for deletion).
  
  
  
  Data Consistency: The system ensures data consistency by preventing multiple users from making changes to the same entries simultaneously.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the Message Log: The first step is to check the message log for more details about which entries are locked. This can provide insights into which specific records are causing the issue.
  
  
  Identify the Locking User/Process:
  
  Use transaction code SM12 to view and manage lock entries. This transaction allows you to see which users or processes are holding locks on specific entries.
  If you identify a user who is holding a lock, you may need to communicate with them to resolve the issue.
  
  
  
  Wait for Release: If the lock is due to a background job or another user, you may need to wait until the job completes or the user releases the lock.
  
  
  Force Release (with caution): If necessary and if you have the appropriate authorizations, you can manually delete the lock entries in SM12. However, this should be done with caution, as it may lead to data inconsistencies if the other process is still running.
  
  
  Review Configuration: If this issue occurs frequently, it may be worth reviewing the configuration of your planning processes to ensure that they are optimized and that locking is minimized.
