  The SAP error message G0843 indicates that the consolidation monitor is already open for a specific period and company code (CG/CU) in the system. This typically occurs when a user attempts to access the consolidation monitor while another session is already using it for the same period and company code.
  Cause:
  
  Concurrent Access: Another user or session has the consolidation monitor open for the same period and company code.
  Session Lock: The system may have a session lock that prevents multiple users from accessing the same consolidation monitor instance simultaneously.
  Unfinished Processes: There may be an ongoing process or transaction that has not been completed, which keeps the monitor in use.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Active Sessions: Verify if another user is currently using the consolidation monitor for the specified period and company code. You can do this by checking the user sessions in the system.
  Close Other Sessions: If you have access, you can close the other session that is using the consolidation monitor. Alternatively, ask the user who has it open to close it.
  Wait for Completion: If the monitor is being used for a legitimate process, wait until that process is completed before trying to access it again.
  Transaction SM12: Use transaction SM12 to check for any locks on the relevant tables. If you find any locks that are no longer needed, you can delete them (ensure you have the necessary authorizations and that it is safe to do so).
  Log Off and Log Back In: Sometimes, simply logging off and back into the system can resolve session-related issues.
  Contact Support: If the issue persists and you cannot identify the cause, consider reaching out to your SAP support team for further assistance.
