• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message S95_MESSAGES019 - Order number &1: Control recipe &2 locked by another process or user ?

  The SAP error message S95_MESSAGES019 indicates that a control recipe is locked by another process or user, preventing the current operation from proceeding. This typically occurs in the context of production planning and execution, where multiple users or processes may attempt to access or modify the same control recipe simultaneously.
  Cause:
  
  Concurrent Access: Another user or process is currently using the control recipe, which locks it for editing or processing.
  Long-Running Transactions: A transaction that takes a long time to complete may hold the lock longer than expected.
  System Errors: Occasionally, system errors or crashes can leave locks in place that are not released properly.
  User Permissions: The user may not have the necessary permissions to access the control recipe, leading to a perceived lock.
  
  Solution:
  
  Wait and Retry: If the lock is temporary, waiting for a few moments and then retrying the operation may resolve the issue.
  Identify the Lock: Use transaction codes like SM12 (for lock entries) to identify which user or process is holding the lock on the control recipe. You can check the lock entries and see if you can contact the user or process to resolve the issue.
  Release the Lock: If you have the necessary permissions, you can manually delete the lock entry in SM12. However, this should be done with caution, as it may disrupt the other user's work.
  Check for Long-Running Processes: Investigate if there are any long-running transactions that may be holding the lock. You can use transaction SM66 to monitor active processes in the system.
  Review User Permissions: Ensure that the user has the appropriate permissions to access the control recipe. If not, adjust the user roles accordingly.
  System Restart: In rare cases, a system restart may be necessary to clear any persistent locks that are not being released.
