• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message IHREP104 - Order & is locked - no mass change for operations possible ?

  The SAP error message IHREP104 indicates that a particular order is locked, which prevents mass changes to its operations. This can occur in various scenarios, such as when the order is being processed by another user or when it is in a state that does not allow changes.
  Cause:
  
  Order Locking: The order is currently being edited or processed by another user or transaction, which locks it for changes.
  Status of the Order: The order may be in a status that does not allow mass changes (e.g., completed, closed, or in a locked state).
  Technical Issues: There may be technical issues or inconsistencies in the system that lead to the order being incorrectly marked as locked.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check for Locks: 
  
  Use transaction code SM12 to check for locks on the order. You can search for the order number and see if it is locked by another user.
  If you find a lock, you can either wait for the other user to finish or, if appropriate, you can delete the lock (ensure you have the necessary authorizations and that it is safe to do so).
  
  
  
  Check Order Status: 
  
  Review the status of the order in transaction CO02 (Change Order) or CO03 (Display Order) to ensure it is in a state that allows mass changes.
  If the order is completed or closed, you may need to reopen it or create a new order for further changes.
  
  
  
  Consult with Users: 
  
  If another user is working on the order, communicate with them to understand if they can release the lock or if they are done with their changes.
  
  
  
  System Check: 
  
  If the issue persists, it may be necessary to check for any system errors or inconsistencies. This may involve consulting with your SAP Basis team or technical support.
  
  
  
  Use Alternative Methods: 
  
  If mass changes are not possible due to the lock, consider making individual changes to the operations if feasible.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as:
  
  CO02: Change Production Order
  CO03: Display Production Order
  SM12: Display and Delete Locks
  
  
  User Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to view and manage locks.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address specific issues related to order locking and mass changes.
  
  If the problem continues after trying the above solutions, it may be beneficial to escalate the issue to your SAP support team for further investigation.
