• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /IBX/BL_ASSIGN104 - Contract &3 is in manual change process and will not be processed. ?

  The SAP error message /IBX/BL_ASSIGN104 Contract &3 is in manual change process and will not be processed typically indicates that a contract is currently being edited or is in a state that prevents it from being processed further. This can occur in various scenarios, such as when a user is manually changing the contract details, or if there is a lock on the contract due to ongoing transactions.
  Cause:
  
  Manual Changes in Progress: The contract is currently being edited by a user or is in a manual change process.
  Locking Mechanism: SAP uses a locking mechanism to prevent multiple users from making changes to the same contract simultaneously. If one user is editing the contract, others will be unable to process it until the lock is released.
  Incomplete Transactions: There may be incomplete transactions or processes associated with the contract that need to be resolved before further processing can occur.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check for Active Sessions: Verify if another user is currently editing the contract. If so, wait for them to complete their changes.
  Release Locks: If you have access, you can check for locks on the contract using transaction code SM12 to see if there are any active locks. If you find a lock that should not be there, you may need to release it (with caution).
  Complete Pending Changes: Ensure that any manual changes or transactions related to the contract are completed. This may involve saving or finalizing changes made by you or other users.
  Consult with Colleagues: If you are unsure about the status of the contract, consult with your colleagues or the user who might be editing it.
  Check for Background Jobs: Sometimes, background jobs may be processing the contract. Check transaction SM37 to see if there are any jobs that might be affecting the contract.
  Contact Support: If the issue persists and you cannot identify the cause, consider reaching out to your SAP support team for further assistance.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as SM12 (to check locks), SM37 (to check background jobs), and SE11 (to check table definitions).
