• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MY_QUOTATION_MSG018 - Quotation was modified in another session. You must reload the quotation. ?

  The SAP error message MY_QUOTATION_MSG018, which states "Quotation was modified in another session. You must reload the quotation," typically occurs in the context of SAP's Sales and Distribution (SD) module when a user attempts to edit a quotation that has been changed by another user or session. This is a concurrency control mechanism to ensure data integrity.
  Cause:
  
  Concurrent Access: The quotation you are trying to edit has been modified in another session or by another user. SAP locks the quotation to prevent conflicting changes.
  Session Timeout: If you have been inactive for a while, your session may have timed out, and any changes made in another session will not be reflected in your current session.
  Data Consistency: SAP ensures that users are working with the most current data to avoid inconsistencies.
  
  Solution:
  
  Reload the Quotation: The immediate solution is to reload the quotation. You can do this by navigating back to the quotation screen and re-entering the quotation number or using the appropriate function to refresh the data.
  Check for Changes: If you are collaborating with others, check if someone else has made changes to the quotation. You may need to coordinate with them to understand the modifications.
  Save Your Work: If you have unsaved changes, make sure to save them in a separate document or note before reloading the quotation, as reloading will discard any unsaved changes.
  Avoid Concurrent Edits: If possible, avoid having multiple users edit the same quotation simultaneously. Establish a protocol for editing quotations to minimize conflicts.
  Session Management: Ensure that you are managing your sessions properly. If you are logged into multiple sessions, be cautious about making changes in one session that may affect another.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any specific patches or updates related to this error message. Sometimes, there may be known issues or fixes provided by SAP.
  User Training: Ensure that users are trained on how to handle quotations and understand the implications of concurrent access.
  System Configuration: Review the system configuration for locking mechanisms and session management settings, as these can impact how data is handled in multi-user environments.
  
  If the problem persists after trying the above solutions, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or system administrator for further assistance.
