• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/OO_TR086 - User &1 is editing quotas of selected products in model &2 ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/OO_TR086 indicates that a user is currently editing quotas for selected products in a specific model. This message typically arises in the context of SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO), particularly when multiple users are trying to access or modify the same data simultaneously.
  Cause:
  
  
  Concurrent Editing: The primary cause of this error is that another user (indicated by &1) is already editing the quotas for the products in the specified model (&2). SAP APO does not allow multiple users to edit the same data simultaneously to prevent data inconsistencies.
  
  
  Lock Mechanism: SAP uses a locking mechanism to ensure data integrity. When one user opens a quota for editing, it locks that data for other users until the first user completes their changes and releases the lock.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Wait for Release: The simplest solution is to wait until the other user has finished editing the quotas. Once they save their changes and exit, you should be able to access the quotas without any issues.
  
  
  Identify the User: If you need to know who is currently editing the quotas, you can check the user sessions in the SAP system. This can often be done by an administrator using transaction codes like SM04 or AL08 to see active users and their sessions.
  
  
  Communicate with the User: If possible, communicate with the user who is editing the quotas to coordinate your changes. This can help avoid conflicts and ensure that both users can complete their tasks efficiently.
  
  
  Check for Long Locks: If the lock seems to be persisting for an unusually long time, it may be worth investigating whether the user has left their session open or if there is a technical issue. In such cases, an administrator may need to terminate the session.
  
  
  Review Lock Management: If this issue occurs frequently, it may be beneficial to review the lock management settings and user access patterns to optimize how quotas are edited in your organization.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with transaction codes like SM12 (to view and manage locks) and SM21 (to check system logs for any related issues).
  User Training: Ensure that users are trained on how to properly manage their sessions and understand the implications of concurrent editing in SAP APO.
  System Performance: Regularly monitor system performance and user activity to identify any patterns that may lead to frequent locking issues.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the error and manage quota editing more effectively in SAP APO.
