• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ML059 - An evaluation is just being created for this info record ?

  The SAP error message ML059, which states "An evaluation is just being created for this info record," typically occurs when there is an attempt to create or modify a purchasing info record while an evaluation for that record is still in progress. This can happen in scenarios where multiple users or processes are trying to access or update the same info record simultaneously.
  Cause:
  
  Concurrent Access: Another user or process is currently creating or updating the evaluation for the same info record.
  Locking Mechanism: SAP uses a locking mechanism to prevent data inconsistencies. If an evaluation is being created, the record is locked for other operations.
  System Performance: In some cases, system performance issues may cause delays in the completion of the evaluation process, leading to this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  Wait and Retry: The simplest solution is to wait for a few moments and then try to access or modify the info record again. The evaluation process may complete shortly.
  Check for Locks: Use transaction code SM12 to check for any locks on the info record. If you find a lock that is no longer needed, you can release it (ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to do so).
  Review Background Jobs: If the evaluation is being processed as part of a background job, check the job status using transaction code SM37. If the job is stuck or has failed, you may need to investigate further.
  Consult with Colleagues: If you are in a multi-user environment, check with your colleagues to see if someone else is working on the same info record.
  System Logs: Review system logs for any related errors or warnings that might provide additional context for the issue.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as ME11 (Create Info Record), ME12 (Change Info Record), and ME13 (Display Info Record).
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to this error message. You can search for notes in the SAP Support Portal.
  User Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to create or modify info records, as insufficient permissions can sometimes lead to unexpected errors.
