• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message L5203 - Group & already being processed; no check for 2-step process ?

  The SAP error message L5203 indicates that a group is already being processed, and therefore, the system cannot perform a check for a 2-step process. This error typically occurs in the context of logistics and inventory management, particularly when dealing with batch management or handling units.
  
  Cause:
  
  Concurrent Processing: The error usually arises when there is an attempt to process the same group (e.g., a handling unit or batch) simultaneously in different transactions or sessions.
  Locking Mechanism: SAP uses a locking mechanism to prevent data inconsistencies. If one transaction is already processing a group, another transaction cannot access it until the first one is completed.
  
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings related to the 2-step process that are not correctly set up, leading to conflicts.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Active Sessions: Ensure that no other sessions or transactions are currently processing the same group. You can use transaction code SM12 to check for locks on the group.
