• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MDG_SQD_DUPCHECK014 - Selected record is locked in change request &1; cannot proceed ?

  The SAP error message MDG_SQD_DUPCHECK014 indicates that the selected record is locked in a change request, which prevents further processing. This typically occurs in the context of SAP Master Data Governance (MDG) when a user attempts to perform an action on a record that is currently being edited or processed in another change request.
  Cause:
  
  Record Locking: The record you are trying to access is locked because another user or process is currently editing it in a change request.
  Change Request Status: The change request associated with the record may be in a status that does not allow further processing (e.g., it is still being reviewed or approved).
  Concurrency Issues: Multiple users may be trying to access or modify the same record simultaneously, leading to a lock.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Change Requests: Identify the change request that is locking the record. You can do this by checking the change request logs or using transaction codes like MDG_CRP to view active change requests.
  Wait for Release: If another user is editing the record, you may need to wait until they have completed their changes and released the lock.
  Contact the User: If you know who is editing the record, you can contact them to see if they can complete their changes or release the lock.
  Use Transaction Codes: You can use transaction codes like SM12 to view and manage locks in the system. However, be cautious when removing locks, as this can lead to data inconsistencies.
  Review Change Request Status: Ensure that the change request is in a status that allows for further processing. If necessary, consult with your MDG administrator or process owner to resolve any issues with the change request.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Lock Management: Understanding how SAP handles record locking can help you manage and troubleshoot these types of issues. Locks are typically managed at the database level to ensure data integrity.
  MDG Processes: Familiarize yourself with the specific MDG processes and workflows in your organization, as these can vary and may have specific rules regarding record locking and change requests.
  User Roles and Authorizations: Ensure that you have the appropriate roles and authorizations to access and modify the records in question. Sometimes, lack of permissions can lead to confusion regarding locks.
  
  If the issue persists or if you are unsure how to proceed, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or a technical consultant who specializes in SAP MDG.
