• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MDC_GOV_BO_MSG102 - Process &1 created by another user ?

  The SAP error message MDC_GOV_BO_MSG102, which states "Process &1 created by another user," typically occurs in the context of the SAP Multi-Dimensional Consolidation (MDC) or similar processes where multiple users may be trying to access or modify the same process or data simultaneously.
  Cause:
  This error usually arises when:
  
  Concurrent Access: Another user has already initiated a process (identified by &1) that you are trying to access or modify. SAP locks certain processes to prevent data inconsistencies.
  Session Management: The process might be locked due to session management settings, where a user has not properly released a session or has left a process in an active state.
  User Permissions: The user attempting to access the process may not have the necessary permissions to view or modify the process created by another user.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Active Processes: 
  
  Use transaction codes like SM12 (to check for locks) or SM21 (to view system logs) to identify if the process is indeed locked by another user.
  If you find that the process is locked, you may need to wait for the other user to complete their task or contact them to release the lock.
  
  
  
  Session Management:
  
  Ensure that you properly log out of sessions or processes that you are not using. If you have multiple sessions open, close the unnecessary ones.
  
  
  
  User Permissions:
  
  Verify that you have the appropriate permissions to access the process. If not, contact your SAP administrator to adjust your user roles or permissions.
  
  
  
  Retry the Process:
  
  After confirming that the process is not locked and you have the necessary permissions, try to initiate the process again.
