ME148 - Details

• The SAP error message ME148 indicates that a requisition is currently being processed by other users. This typically occurs in the context of purchase requisitions when multiple users attempt to access or modify the same requisition simultaneously. Here’s a breakdown of the cause, potential solutions, and related information:
  
  Cause:
  
  Concurrent Access: The error arises when one user is editing or processing a purchase requisition while another user tries to access the same requisition.
  Locking Mechanism: SAP uses a locking mechanism to prevent data inconsistencies. When a requisition is being processed, it is locked for other users until the first user completes their action.
  Long Processing Times: If a user takes a long time to process a requisition, it can lead to this error for others trying to access it.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Wait and Retry: The simplest solution is to wait for a few moments and then try to access the requisition again. The lock will be released
