• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FTR_COMMON_CORE003 - Data might have changed. Snapshot not possible ?

  The SAP error message FTR_COMMON_CORE003 ("Data might have changed. Snapshot not possible") typically occurs in the context of financial transactions, particularly when dealing with financial instruments or treasury management. This error indicates that the system is unable to create a snapshot of the data because it has detected that the underlying data may have changed since the last time it was accessed.
  Causes:
  
  Data Changes: The most common cause is that the data related to the financial transaction has been modified by another user or process after it was initially retrieved.
  Concurrency Issues: Multiple users or processes trying to access or modify the same data simultaneously can lead to this error.
  Locking Mechanisms: SAP uses locking mechanisms to prevent data inconsistencies. If a lock is held by another transaction, it may prevent the snapshot from being created.

  Solutions:
  
  Refresh the Data: Try to refresh the data or re-enter the transaction. This can help ensure that you are working with the most current data.
  Check for Locks: Use transaction codes like SM12 to check for any locks on the data. If you find locks that are no longer needed, you may need to release them.
  Wait and Retry: If the error is due to concurrent access, waiting for a short period and then retrying the operation may resolve the issue.
  Review User Access: Ensure that users have the appropriate access rights and that there are no conflicting transactions being executed by different users.
  Consult Logs: Check the application logs (transaction SLG1) for any additional error messages or warnings that may provide more context about the issue.
