• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message REXCJP362 - Calculated External Costs table is currently locked by user & ?

  The SAP error message REXCJP362 indicates that the "Calculated External Costs" table is currently locked by another user. This typically occurs in the context of project management or controlling modules where multiple users may be trying to access or modify the same data simultaneously.
  Cause:
  
  Concurrent Access: Another user is currently accessing or modifying the data in the "Calculated External Costs" table, which leads to a lock being placed on the table to prevent data inconsistencies.
  Long-running Transactions: A transaction that takes a long time to complete may hold the lock longer than expected.
  System Issues: Sometimes, system issues or bugs can lead to locks not being released properly.
  
  Solution:
  
  Wait and Retry: The simplest solution is to wait for the other user to finish their transaction and then try again.
  Identify the Locking User: Use transaction code SM12 to check for locks in the system. You can identify the user who is holding the lock and, if necessary, contact them to understand their activity.
  Release the Lock: If you have the necessary authorizations, you can manually release the lock from transaction SM12. However, this should be done with caution, as it may lead to data inconsistencies if the other user is still working on the data.
  Check for Long-running Transactions: Use transaction SM66 to monitor active processes and identify any long-running transactions that may be causing the lock.
  System Administration: If the issue persists, it may require intervention from your SAP Basis team to investigate and resolve any underlying system issues.
