• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message HRFPM_FTE758 - Temporary locks created (workflow) ?

  The SAP error message HRFPM_FTE758 indicates that temporary locks have been created in the workflow, which can prevent certain actions from being completed. This error typically occurs in the context of SAP Human Capital Management (HCM) and can be related to various processes, such as employee data changes, approvals, or other workflow-related activities.
  Cause:
  
  Concurrent Processing: The error often arises when multiple users or processes are trying to access or modify the same data simultaneously, leading to temporary locks.
  Long-Running Workflows: If a workflow takes too long to process, it may create locks that prevent other workflows from accessing the same data.
  System Performance Issues: High system load or performance issues can exacerbate locking problems.
  Configuration Issues: Incorrect configuration of the workflow or related processes can lead to unexpected locking behavior.
  
  Solution:
  
  Wait and Retry: Since the locks are temporary, waiting for a short period and then retrying the action may resolve the issue.
  Check for Active Workflows: Use transaction codes like SWI1 (Work Item Selection) to check for any active workflows that might be causing the lock. If you identify a long-running workflow, you may need to investigate and resolve it.
  Review Workflow Configuration: Ensure that the workflow is correctly configured and optimized to minimize locking issues. This may involve reviewing the workflow steps, conditions, and any custom logic.
  System Performance Monitoring: Monitor system performance to identify any bottlenecks that may be contributing to the locking issue. This may involve checking system resources, database performance, and network latency.
  Lock Management: Use transaction SM12 to view and manage locks in the system. You can identify the user or process holding the lock and take appropriate action if necessary.
  Consult SAP Notes: Check the SAP Support Portal for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional guidance.
