• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/MVM022 - Planning version &1 (&2) is currently being used by other users ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/MVM022 indicates that the planning version you are trying to access is currently being used by other users. This is a common issue in SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) when multiple users are trying to work with the same planning version simultaneously.
  Cause:
  
  Concurrent Access: The planning version is locked because another user is currently using it. This can happen during planning activities, data entry, or when executing certain transactions.
  Long-running Processes: If a user is running a long process (like a planning run or data upload) that locks the planning version, other users will be unable to access it until the process is completed.
  Session Management: Sometimes, a user may have left a session open, which can also lead to the planning version being locked.
  
  Solution:
  
  Wait and Retry: The simplest solution is to wait for the other user to finish their work with the planning version and then try again.
  Identify the Lock: You can use transaction SM12 to check for locks on the planning version. This transaction allows you to see which users are currently holding locks and on which objects.
  Contact the User: If you identify the user who is holding the lock, you can contact them to see if they can release the planning version.
  Release Locks: If necessary and if you have the appropriate authorizations, you can manually release the locks in SM12. However, this should be done with caution, as it may disrupt the other user's work.
  Check for Long-running Jobs: Use transaction SM37 to check for any long-running jobs that might be using the planning version. If you find any, you may need to wait for them to complete or discuss with the responsible user.
  Review User Sessions: Ensure that users are properly logging off and not leaving sessions open unnecessarily.
