Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RMPS_PRO027 - &1 is already being edited; action was canceled ?

  The SAP error message RMPS_PRO027 indicates that a particular object (such as a project or a document) is currently being edited by another user or session, which prevents you from making changes to it. This is a common issue in collaborative environments where multiple users may attempt to access the same object simultaneously.
  Cause:
  
  Concurrent Editing: Another user has locked the object for editing.
  Session Lock: The object may be locked due to a previous session that did not close properly.
  System Configuration: Certain configurations in the SAP system may lead to objects being locked for longer than necessary.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check for Other Users: Verify if another user is currently editing the object. You can do this by checking the transaction logs or using transaction codes like SM12 (to view locks) or SM21 (to view system logs).
  
  
  Wait and Retry: If another user is editing the object, you may need to wait until they finish and release the lock. You can periodically check back to see if the object is available.
  
  
  Release Locks: If you suspect that a session is holding a lock unnecessarily (for example, if a user has logged out without properly saving and exiting), you can use transaction SM12 to manually delete the lock. However, this should be done with caution and typically requires appropriate authorizations.
  
  
  Contact the User: If you know who is editing the object, you can reach out to them to coordinate your changes.
  
  
  System Configuration Review: If this issue occurs frequently, it may be worth reviewing the system configuration or discussing with your SAP Basis team to ensure that lock management is functioning as intended.
