Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message >REP012 - Selection &1 &2 currently being generated ?

  The SAP error message REP012 typically indicates that a report or selection is currently being generated and cannot be executed again until the current process is completed. This can happen in various SAP modules when a report is requested multiple times in quick succession or when a long-running report is still processing.
  Cause:
  
  Concurrent Execution: The report is already running, and SAP does not allow the same report to be executed multiple times simultaneously.
  Long Processing Time: The report may take a significant amount of time to generate, leading to a situation where a user attempts to run it again before the first instance has completed.
  System Locking: The system may have a locking mechanism in place to prevent multiple instances of the same report from being executed at the same time.
  
  Solution:
  
  Wait for Completion: The simplest solution is to wait for the current report generation to complete. You can check the status of the report in the job overview (transaction code SM37) to see if it is still running.
  Check Background Jobs: If you have access, you can go to transaction SM37 to monitor background jobs and see if the report is still processing. If it is stuck or taking too long, you may need to cancel it.
  Avoid Concurrent Requests: Ensure that you are not trying to run the same report multiple times. If you need to run it again, wait until the first instance has finished.
  Increase System Resources: If this is a frequent issue, consider discussing with your SAP Basis team about optimizing the report or increasing system resources to handle concurrent requests better.
  Review Report Design: If the report is consistently taking too long, it may be worth reviewing the report design or the underlying data to see if optimizations can be made.
