• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message LTR2_ES180 - The ES is currently locked by user &1. Try again ?

  The SAP error message LTR2_ES180 indicates that a particular "Enterprise Structure" (ES) is currently locked by another user. This typically occurs when one user is making changes or performing actions on the ES, preventing other users from accessing or modifying it simultaneously.
  Cause:
  
  Concurrent Access: Another user is currently editing or has locked the ES for some reason (e.g., configuration changes, data entry).
  Session Timeout: A previous session may not have released the lock due to a timeout or an unexpected termination.
  System Error: Sometimes, system errors or crashes can leave locks in place.
  
  Solution:
  
  Wait and Retry: The simplest solution is to wait for the other user to finish their work and then try again.
  Identify the Locking User: You can use transaction code SM12 to check which user has locked the ES. This transaction allows you to view and manage locks in the system.
  
  Go to transaction SM12.
  Enter the relevant details (like the object name or user) and execute.
  Identify the user who has the lock.
  
  
  Contact the User: If you identify the user who has the lock, you can reach out to them to see if they can release the lock or if they are done with their task.
  Release the Lock: If necessary and if you have the appropriate authorizations, you can manually delete the lock from SM12. However, this should be done with caution, as it may disrupt the other user's work.
  Check for System Issues: If locks are persisting without any active users, it may indicate a system issue. In this case, consult your SAP Basis team to investigate further.
