PPC1PR020 - Details

• The SAP error message PPC1PR020 indicates that backflush processing is currently locked by another user or process. This typically occurs in the context of production orders or material movements where backflush is being attempted, but the system has detected that another transaction is currently using the same resources.
  
  Cause:
  
  Concurrent Access: Another user or process is currently performing backflush processing on the same production order or material.
  System Lock: The system may have a lock due to a previous transaction that has not yet been completed or released.
