IL099 - Details

  • The SAP error message IL099, which states "User &1 is editing reference location &2," typically occurs when a user attempts to edit a reference location (such as a storage location or a piece of equipment) that is currently being edited by another user. This is a common issue in systems where multiple users may access and modify the same data simultaneously.
    
    Cause: Concurrent Editing: Another user is currently editing the reference location, which locks the data for editing to prevent conflicts. Session Timeout: A previous session may not have been properly closed, leaving the reference location in a locked state. System Locking Mechanism: SAP uses a locking mechanism to ensure data integrity. If a user has opened a transaction that locks the reference location, others will be unable to edit it until the lock is released.
    Solution: Wait and Retry: The simplest solution is to wait for the other user to finish editing the reference location.
