• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FWTM026 - Processing of run &1 blocked by user &2 ?

  The SAP error message FWTM026 indicates that the processing of a specific run (identified by &1) is blocked by a user (identified by &2). This typically occurs in the context of financial transactions or processes that are being managed within the SAP system, such as payment runs, clearing runs, or other batch processing activities.
  Cause:
  
  User Lock: The user identified in the error message has locked the processing run. This can happen if the user is currently processing the run or has not released it properly.
  Incomplete Processing: The run may have been started but not completed due to an error or interruption, leading to a lock.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to process the run, leading to a block.
  
  Solution:
  
  Identify the User: Check which user is blocking the run. You can do this by using transaction codes like SM12 (to check for locks) or SM21 (to check system logs).
  Release the Lock: If the user is not actively processing the run, you can release the lock. This can be done by:
  
  Asking the user to complete or cancel their processing.
  Using transaction SM12 to delete the lock entry if it is safe to do so.
  
  
  Check for Errors: If the run was interrupted, investigate the logs to identify any errors that may have caused the blockage. Resolve any underlying issues before attempting to process the run again.
  Review Authorizations: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to perform the processing. If not, adjust the user roles accordingly.
