• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MMPUR_CRFQ047 - Central RFQ can't be created. Purchase requisition &1 is being edited. ?

  The SAP error message MMPUR_CRFQ047 indicates that a Central Request for Quotation (RFQ) cannot be created because a purchase requisition (PR) is currently being edited. This typically occurs in scenarios where multiple users or processes are trying to access or modify the same purchase requisition simultaneously.
  Cause:
  
  Concurrent Editing: The most common cause is that the purchase requisition referenced in the error message is currently being edited by another user or process. SAP locks the PR to prevent data inconsistencies.
  Session Timeout: If a user has left a session open for an extended period, the system may still consider that session as active, leading to a lock on the PR.
  Background Jobs: Sometimes, background jobs or processes may be holding a lock on the PR.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Lock Entries: Use transaction code SM12 to check for lock entries related to the purchase requisition. If you find a lock that is no longer needed, you can delete it (if you have the necessary authorizations).
  Wait and Retry: If another user is editing the PR, you may need to wait until they finish and release the lock. You can communicate with the user to find out when they expect to complete their changes.
  Review User Sessions: Ensure that there are no inactive sessions holding locks. If a session is no longer needed, you can log out or terminate it.
  Check Background Jobs: If there are background jobs that might be affecting the PR, check their status and see if they can be stopped or if they are causing the lock.
  Consult with IT Support: If the issue persists, it may be necessary to consult with your IT support team or SAP Basis team to investigate further and resolve any underlying issues.
