• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PRCG_CNDNRECORD_API084 - You cannot save draft condition record &1 for which the lock has expired. ?

  The SAP error message PRCG_CNDNRECORD_API084 indicates that you are trying to save a draft condition record, but the lock on that record has expired. This typically occurs in scenarios where multiple users or processes are trying to access or modify the same condition record, and the system has a locking mechanism to prevent conflicts.
  Cause:
  
  Lock Expiration: The lock on the condition record has expired due to inactivity or time limits set in the system. SAP uses locks to ensure data integrity when multiple users are working on the same data.
  Long Processing Time: If the user takes too long to complete the transaction, the lock may time out.
  Multiple Sessions: If the same user is working in multiple sessions, the lock may be released in one session while still being active in another.
  
  Solution:
  
  Refresh the Lock: If you are still working on the condition record, try to refresh or re-access the record to obtain a new lock.
  Reopen the Record: Close the current session and reopen the condition record to start a new session. This will allow you to obtain a new lock.
  Check for Other Users: Ensure that no other users are currently editing the same condition record. If they are, you may need to wait until they finish.
  Increase Lock Timeout: If this is a frequent issue, consider discussing with your SAP Basis team about increasing the lock timeout settings in the system.
  Use Transaction Codes: Use transaction codes like SM12 to check for existing locks and SM21 to check for system logs that might provide more context on the issue.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Lock Management: Understanding how SAP handles locks can help in troubleshooting. Locks are managed in the database and can be viewed using transaction SM12.
  Performance Considerations: If users frequently encounter this issue, it may indicate performance problems or inefficient processes that need to be addressed.
