• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FTVV_MESSAGES073 - Table for subsidies locked by &1 ?

  The SAP error message FTVV_MESSAGES073, which indicates that a table for subsidies is locked by a specific user or process, typically arises in the context of financial transactions or subsidy management within the SAP system. Here’s a breakdown of the cause, potential solutions, and related information:
  Cause:
  
  Table Locking: The error occurs when a user or process is trying to access a table that is currently locked by another user or transaction. This can happen during data entry, processing, or when a transaction is being executed that requires access to the subsidies table.
  Long-running Transactions: If a transaction takes too long to complete, it may hold a lock on the table longer than expected, preventing other users from accessing it.
  Concurrent Access: Multiple users or processes trying to access or modify the same data simultaneously can lead to locking issues.
  
  Solution:
  
  Identify the Lock: Use transaction codes like SM12 (for lock entries) to identify which user or process is holding the lock on the subsidies table. This will help you understand if the lock is legitimate or if it can be released.
  Wait and Retry: If the lock is held by a legitimate process that is expected to complete soon, you may need to wait and retry your operation after some time.
  Release the Lock: If you determine that the lock is no longer needed (e.g., the user has logged off or the process has failed), you can manually delete the lock entry in SM12. However, this should be done with caution and typically requires appropriate authorizations.
  Optimize Processes: Review the processes that access the subsidies table to ensure they are optimized and do not hold locks longer than necessary. This may involve improving transaction performance or breaking down large transactions into smaller ones.
  Consult with Basis Team: If the issue persists, it may be necessary to involve your SAP Basis team to investigate further, as they can provide insights into system performance and locking behavior.
