• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MG_SSTN_VALIDATIONS085 - Sustainability Info record for &1 and &2 already being processed ?

  The SAP error message MG_SSTN_VALIDATIONS085 indicates that there is an issue with the processing of a Sustainability Info record for specific materials or suppliers. This error typically arises when there is an attempt to process a Sustainability Info record that is already being processed by another transaction or user session.
  Cause:
  
  Concurrent Processing: The most common cause of this error is that the Sustainability Info record for the specified material and supplier is already being processed in another session or by another user. This can happen if multiple users are trying to update or create the same record simultaneously.
  Locking Mechanism: SAP uses a locking mechanism to prevent data inconsistencies. If a record is locked by one user, other users will receive this error when they attempt to access the same record.
  System Configuration: There may be specific configurations or settings in the SAP system that are causing this error to occur more frequently.
  
  Solution:
  
  Wait and Retry: If you encounter this error, the simplest solution is to wait for a few moments and then try to process the record again. This allows the other session to complete its processing and release the lock on the record.
  Check Active Sessions: If you have access to transaction codes like SM12 (to check for locks) or SM21 (to view system logs), you can check if there are any active sessions that are locking the record. If you find a session that is no longer active, you may need to contact your system administrator to release the lock.
  Coordinate with Users: If multiple users are working on the same records, it may be helpful to coordinate with them to avoid concurrent processing of the same Sustainability Info record.
  Review Custom Code: If there are any custom developments or enhancements related to Sustainability Info records, review them to ensure they are not causing unintended locks or issues.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as:
  
  SM12: To view and manage locks.
  SM21: To check system logs for errors or warnings.
  SE11: To view the data dictionary and understand the structure of the Sustainability Info records.
  
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any SAP Notes related to this error message. SAP frequently releases notes that provide fixes or workarounds for known issues.
  Documentation: Review SAP documentation related to Sustainability Info records and their processing to ensure you are following the correct procedures.
  
  If the issue persists after trying the above solutions, it may be necessary to escalate the problem to your SAP support team or consult with SAP support for further assistance.
