• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message KP890 - The revaluation is locked by user & ?

  The SAP error message KP890 indicates that a revaluation process is locked by a specific user. This typically occurs in the context of controlling (CO) module transactions, particularly when dealing with cost center accounting or internal orders.
  Cause:
  The error message KP890 is triggered when:
  
  A user is currently processing a revaluation for a cost center or internal order, and another user attempts to perform the same action.
  The revaluation process is locked due to a previous session that has not been completed or has encountered an issue.
  There may be a system or transaction that is holding the lock, preventing other users from accessing the revaluation function.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the KP890 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Identify the Locking User:
  
  Check the user who is locking the revaluation process. This can often be found in the error message itself (indicated by the user ID).
  Use transaction code SM12 (Lock Entries) to view the locks in the system. You can filter by the user ID to see if there are any active locks.
  
  
  
  Contact the Locking User:
  
  If possible, reach out to the user who is holding the lock to determine if they can complete or cancel their transaction.
  
  
  
  Release the Lock:
  
  If the locking user is unavailable or the session is stuck, you may need to manually delete the lock. This can be done by an administrator using transaction code SM12. Be cautious with this step, as it may lead to data inconsistencies if the user is indeed processing something.
  
  
  
  Check for Background Jobs:
  
  Sometimes, background jobs may also hold locks. Use transaction code SM37 to check for any background jobs related to the revaluation process that might be running.
  
  
  
  Review System Logs:
  
  Check the system logs (transaction code SM21) for any errors or warnings that might provide additional context about the locking issue.
  
  
  
  Retry the Process:
  
  After the lock has been released, try to perform the revaluation process again.

  System Performance: If this issue occurs frequently, it may be worth investigating system performance or user training to ensure that users are completing their transactions properly.
