• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message GR373 - Library & is used by report & ?

  The SAP error message GR373 typically indicates that a library is being used by a report or program, which prevents certain actions from being performed on that library. This error often arises in the context of ABAP development when trying to delete or modify a library that is currently in use.
  Cause:
  
  Library in Use: The library you are trying to modify or delete is currently being referenced by a report or another program.
  Dependencies: There may be dependencies or references in other objects that rely on the library, making it impossible to change or remove it without addressing those dependencies first.
  
  Solution:
  
  Identify Dependencies: Use transaction SE80 (Object Navigator) or SE11 (Data Dictionary) to check which reports or programs are using the library. You can also use transaction SE37 (Function Module) to see if any function modules are referencing it.
  Remove References: If possible, modify the reports or programs that are using the library to remove the dependency. This may involve changing the code to not reference the library or replacing it with an alternative.
  Check for Active Sessions: Ensure that there are no active sessions or users currently executing the report that uses the library. You can check this using transaction SM04 (User Overview) or SM12 (Lock Entries).
  Transport Requests: If the library is part of a transport request, ensure that the transport is not currently being processed or is in a locked state.
  Consult Documentation: Review any documentation related to the library to understand its purpose and any potential impacts of removing or modifying it.
  
  Related Information:
