Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /ISDFPS/FDP_REL007 - User &1 is currently maintaining relocations/relocation steps ?

  The SAP error message /ISDFPS/FDP_REL007 indicates that a user is currently maintaining relocations or relocation steps in the system. This typically occurs in the context of the SAP Flexible Real Estate Management (RE-FX) module or similar applications where relocations are managed.
  Cause:
  The error is triggered when:
  
  A user attempts to perform an action (like saving, editing, or deleting) on a relocation or relocation step that is currently being edited or maintained by another user.
  The system has a locking mechanism to prevent data inconsistencies, and it prevents multiple users from making changes to the same record simultaneously.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Activity: 
  
  Identify the user who is currently maintaining the relocations. You can do this by checking the user sessions in the system or by asking the user directly.
  
  
  
  Wait for Completion: 
  
  If the other user is actively working on the relocation, you may need to wait until they finish their task and release the lock.
  
  
  
  Lock Release: 
  
  If you believe the lock is no longer valid (for example, if the user has logged off unexpectedly), you may need to release the lock manually. This can typically be done by a system administrator using transaction codes like SM12 (to view and delete locks).
  
  
  
  Communicate with Users: 
  
  If multiple users are working on the same relocations, establish a communication protocol to avoid conflicts and ensure that only one user is editing a relocation at a time.
  
  
  
  Review System Configuration: 
  
  If this issue occurs frequently, consider reviewing the system configuration and user roles to ensure that users are aware of the locking mechanisms in place.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as SM12 (to manage locks), SM21 (to check system logs), and SU01 (to manage user accounts).
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help files related to the RE-FX module for more detailed information on managing relocations and understanding locking mechanisms.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might address specific issues or provide patches related to this error message.
  
  If the problem persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP Basis team or SAP support for further assistance.
