• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /ISDFPS/PM_DIS400 - At least one object (&1/&2) is already in a different distribution run ?

  The SAP error message /ISDFPS/PM_DIS400 indicates that at least one object (identified by the placeholders &1 and &2) is already part of a different distribution run. This typically occurs in the context of the SAP Distribution Framework, where certain objects (like materials, documents, etc.) are being processed for distribution, and the system detects that they are already associated with another distribution run.
  Cause:
  
  Concurrent Distribution Runs: The object you are trying to include in the current distribution run is already being processed in another distribution run.
  Incomplete Previous Runs: If a previous distribution run was not completed successfully, the objects may still be locked or marked as in use.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings that prevent the same object from being processed in multiple runs simultaneously.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Active Distribution Runs: Review the active distribution runs in the system to see if the object is indeed part of another run. You can use transaction codes like /ISDFPS/PM_DIS to monitor distribution runs.
  Wait for Completion: If the object is part of another distribution run, you may need to wait for that run to complete before attempting to include the object in your current run.
  Cancel or Complete Previous Runs: If you find that a previous distribution run is stuck or incomplete, you may need to cancel it or complete it to free up the object.
  Review Object Status: Check the status of the object in question to ensure it is not locked or in a state that prevents it from being processed.
  Consult Logs: Look at the logs for any additional error messages or warnings that might provide more context on why the object is locked.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as /ISDFPS/PM_DIS for distribution monitoring and /ISDFPS/PM_DIS_LOG for viewing logs.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to this error message. SAP frequently updates its knowledge base with solutions for common problems.
  Documentation: Review the SAP documentation related to the Distribution Framework for best practices and configuration settings that might help prevent this issue in the future.
