• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /ISDFPS/FDP_REL021 - Purchase order for & plant & storage location & is being processed ?

  The SAP error message /ISDFPS/FDP_REL021 typically indicates that a purchase order for a specific plant and storage location is currently being processed. This can occur in various scenarios, particularly in the context of the SAP Integrated Business Planning (IBP) or SAP S/4HANA environments.
  Cause:
  
  Concurrent Processing: The error often arises when multiple users or processes are trying to access or modify the same purchase order simultaneously.
  Locking Mechanism: SAP uses a locking mechanism to prevent data inconsistencies. If a purchase order is being edited or processed by another user or transaction, it will be locked, leading to this error.
  Background Jobs: Sometimes, background jobs or batch processes may be running that are also trying to access the same purchase order.
  
  Solution:
  
  Wait and Retry: If the error is due to concurrent processing, waiting for a few moments and then retrying the operation may resolve the issue.
  Check for Locks: Use transaction code SM12 to check for any locks on the purchase order. If you find a lock that is no longer needed, you may need to contact the user who holds the lock or your SAP administrator to release it.
  Identify Background Jobs: Check if there are any background jobs that might be processing the purchase order. You can use transaction code SM37 to view the status of background jobs.
  Review User Access: Ensure that users have the appropriate access rights and that no unauthorized processes are trying to access the purchase order.
  System Logs: Review system logs for any additional error messages or warnings that might provide more context about the issue.
