• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/OM_ERROR2203 - The same retid should be modified in parallel ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/OM_ERROR2203 indicates that there is an issue with modifying the same retid (return ID) in parallel processes. This typically occurs in the context of SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) when multiple processes attempt to update the same object simultaneously, leading to a conflict.
  
  Cause:
  
  Concurrent Modifications: The error is primarily caused by multiple users or processes trying to modify the same data object (identified by retid) at the same time. This can happen in scenarios where batch jobs or multiple users are working on the same planning object.
  Locking Mechanism: SAP uses a locking mechanism to prevent data inconsistencies. When one process locks a retid, other processes trying to modify it will encounter this error until the lock is released.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Serial Processing: Ensure that modifications to the same retid are done serially. This may involve coordinating between users or processes to avoid simultaneous updates.
  Check for Locks: Use transaction codes
