Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FSH_MM_COMMON056 - You cannot edit PSM rules for comp. code &1; locked by another user ?

  The SAP error message FSH_MM_COMMON056 indicates that you are trying to edit PSM (Product Supply Management) rules for a specific company code, but the system has locked that company code for editing because another user is currently working on it. This is a common issue in multi-user environments where concurrent access to certain data is restricted to prevent conflicts.
  Cause:
  
  Concurrent User Access: Another user has opened the PSM rules for the specified company code, and the system has locked it to prevent simultaneous edits.
  Session Timeout: A previous session may not have been properly closed, leaving the company code locked.
  System Configuration: The system may be configured to lock certain objects for editing to maintain data integrity.
  
  Solution:
  
  Wait and Retry: The simplest solution is to wait for the other user to finish their work and release the lock. You can periodically check if the lock has been released.
  Identify the Lock: If you have the necessary authorizations, you can use transaction code SM12 to view and manage locks. This will allow you to see which user has locked the company code and potentially contact them to resolve the issue.
  Release the Lock: If you determine that the lock is no longer needed (for example, if the user has left the session open), you can manually release the lock in transaction SM12. However, be cautious with this approach, as it may lead to data inconsistencies if the other user is still working on the data.
  Check for Background Jobs: Sometimes, background jobs may also hold locks. You can check transaction SM37 to see if any jobs are running that might be causing the lock.
  Consult with IT Support: If the issue persists or if you are unsure about releasing locks, it may be best to consult with your IT support team or SAP Basis team for assistance.
