  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /PRA/P2_TAX037 - Some Reports are scheduled/running, Data cannot be saved. ?

    The SAP error message /PRA/P2_TAX037 indicates that there are reports currently scheduled or running in the system, which prevents the saving of data. This is a common issue in SAP environments where concurrent processes may lock certain data or resources, leading to conflicts when trying to save new data.

    Cause:

    1. Concurrent Processes: The error typically arises when there are background jobs or reports that are currently executing and accessing the same data or resources that you are trying to modify or save.
    2. Locking Mechanism: SAP uses a locking mechanism to ensure data integrity. If a report is running and has locked certain data, other processes trying to access that data will be blocked until the report completes.
    3. Long-Running Reports: If reports are taking longer than expected to run, it can lead to prolonged periods where data cannot be saved.

    Solution:

    1. Check Running Jobs: Use transaction code SM37 to check for any running or scheduled jobs. Look for jobs that might be related to the data you are trying to save.
    2. Wait for Completion: If you identify that a job is running, you may need to wait for it to complete before attempting to save your data again.
    3. Terminate Jobs: If a job is stuck or taking too long, and you have the necessary authorizations, you can terminate it. Be cautious with this approach, as it may lead to data inconsistencies.
    4. Review Job Scheduling: If this is a recurring issue, consider reviewing the scheduling of reports to avoid conflicts. Staggering job schedules can help reduce the likelihood of concurrent access issues.
    5. Consult with Basis Team: If the issue persists, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP Basis team. They can provide insights into system performance and help identify any underlying issues.

    Related Information:

    • Transaction Codes:
      • SM37 - Monitor job status.
      • SM12 - Check for locks on objects.
      • SM21 - Review system logs for any related errors.
    • SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to this error message.
    • Documentation: Review SAP documentation for best practices on job scheduling and data management to avoid such conflicts in the future.

    By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the error and successfully save your data.
