• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /PLMI/PPEENG093 - &1 &2 changed and can only be unlocked after saving ?

  The SAP error message /PLMI/PPEENG093 &1 &2 changed and can only be unlocked after saving typically occurs in the context of the SAP Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) module, particularly when working with engineering change management or similar functionalities. This error indicates that a certain object (like a document, material, or change request) has been modified and is currently locked for editing until the changes are saved.
  Cause:
  
  Concurrent Editing: The object you are trying to edit is already being modified by another user or process.
  Unsaved Changes: You have made changes to the object but have not yet saved them, which locks the object for further modifications.
  System Locking Mechanism: SAP uses a locking mechanism to prevent data inconsistencies. If an object is locked due to changes, it cannot be edited by others until it is saved or unlocked.
  
  Solution:
  
  Save Changes: If you have made changes that you want to keep, save the object. This will unlock it and allow you to continue working.
  Check for Other Users: If you suspect that another user is editing the object, you can check the lock entries using transaction code SM12. This will show you who is currently locking the object.
  Release Locks: If you find that a lock is held by a user who is no longer working on it, you may need to contact your SAP administrator to release the lock.
  Refresh the Session: Sometimes, simply refreshing your session or logging out and back in can resolve temporary locking issues.
  Review Change Management Processes: Ensure that your team follows proper change management processes to avoid conflicts and locking issues.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as SM12 (to view and manage locks), SE11 (to view table definitions), and SE80 (to access the Object Navigator).
