GZ016 - Details

• The SAP error message GZ016, which states "The item texts are being processed by another user," typically occurs when multiple users are trying to access or edit the same item text in a transaction simultaneously. This can happen in various SAP modules, particularly in logistics and sales, where item texts are often used.
  
  Cause:
  
  Concurrent Access: Another user is currently editing the item text, which locks the text for editing to prevent data inconsistencies.
  Session Timeout: If a user has left a session open for an extended period, the system may still consider that session active, leading to a lock.
  Technical Issues: Sometimes, technical issues or bugs can cause locks to persist even after the user has finished editing.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Wait and Retry: The simplest solution is to wait for a few moments and then try to access the item text again. The lock will be released once the other user finishes their editing session.
