• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message GC112 - Company master record & is being processed by someone else ?

  The SAP error message GC112 indicates that a company master record is currently being processed by another user. This typically occurs when multiple users attempt to access or modify the same company code or master data simultaneously, leading to a lock situation to prevent data inconsistencies.
  Cause:
  
  Concurrent Access: Another user is currently editing the company master record.
  Session Lock: The record may be locked due to a previous session that has not been properly closed or has timed out.
  Background Jobs: A background job may be processing the company master record, causing it to be locked for other users.
  
  Solution:
  
  Wait and Retry: If the record is being processed by another user, the simplest solution is to wait for that user to finish and then try again.
  Check Lock Entries: Use transaction code SM12 to check for lock entries. You can see which user is holding the lock and the details of the lock.
  
  If you have the necessary authorizations, you can delete the lock entry if you determine that it is safe to do so (e.g., if the user is no longer active).
  
  
  Communicate with Users: If you identify the user who is holding the lock, you can communicate with them to understand if they are still working on the record or if they can release it.
  Review Background Jobs: Check if there are any background jobs running that might be processing the company master record. You can use transaction code SM37 to view background job logs.
  System Restart: In rare cases, if the lock persists and cannot be resolved, a system restart may be necessary, but this should be done with caution and typically requires coordination with your SAP Basis team.
