• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message IR003 - Measuring point being processed by user & -> only display possible ?

  The SAP error message IR003 indicates that a measuring point is currently being processed by another user, and therefore, the current user can only view the information but cannot make any changes. This typically occurs in the context of SAP's Plant Maintenance (PM) or Utilities (IS-U) modules, where measuring points are used to track consumption or readings.
  
  Cause:
  
  Concurrent Access: Another user is currently editing or processing the same measuring point.
  Lock Mechanism: SAP uses a locking mechanism to prevent data inconsistencies. When one user is working on a measuring point, it is locked for others.
  Long-running Transactions: If a transaction takes a long time to complete, it can lead to other users being unable to access the same measuring point.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Wait and Retry: If the other user is expected to finish soon, you can wait and try again later.
  Check User Sessions: If you have access, check which user is currently processing the measuring point.
