• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message KF103 - Document &/& is presently being processed by & -> Line item not created ?

  The SAP error message KF103 indicates that a document is currently being processed by another user or session, which prevents the creation of a line item for that document. This is a common issue in SAP systems when multiple users or processes attempt to access or modify the same document simultaneously.
  
  Cause:
  
  Concurrent Processing: The document is locked because another user or process is currently working on it.
  Long-running Transactions: A transaction that takes a long time to complete may hold a lock on the document, preventing others from accessing it.
  System Configuration: Certain configurations in the SAP system may lead to locking issues, especially in high-volume environments.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Wait and Retry: The simplest solution is to wait for the other user or process to complete their transaction. After a short period, try to process the document again.
  Identify the Lock: Use transaction codes like SM12 (to view and manage locks) to identify which user or process
