• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/PDRP_APPR035 - Planning lock created ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/PDRP_APPR035 Planning lock created typically occurs in the context of SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) when a planning lock is established during the planning process. This lock is intended to prevent concurrent changes to the same planning object, ensuring data integrity and consistency.
  Cause:
  
  Concurrent Planning Activities: The error usually arises when multiple users or processes attempt to access or modify the same planning object simultaneously.
  Long-Running Processes: If a planning process takes a long time to complete, it may hold a lock for an extended period, causing other processes to encounter this error.
  System Configuration: Incorrect configuration of planning areas or settings related to planning locks can also lead to this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  Wait for Lock Release: If the lock is due to another user or process, waiting for the current process to complete may resolve the issue.
  Identify and Terminate Long-Running Processes: Use transaction codes like SM12 (to view and manage locks) and SM37 (to monitor background jobs) to identify any long-running processes that may be holding locks. If necessary, terminate these processes.
  Check User Sessions: Ensure that no other user sessions are inadvertently holding locks on the same planning object.
  Adjust Planning Processes: If the issue is recurrent, consider optimizing the planning processes to reduce the time they take to complete, thereby minimizing the chances of lock conflicts.
  Review Configuration: Check the configuration of the planning area and related settings to ensure they are set up correctly to minimize locking issues.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with transaction codes like SM12 (to view locks), SM21 (to check system logs), and ST22 (to analyze dumps) for troubleshooting.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to planning locks in your version of SAP APO.
  Documentation: Review SAP documentation on planning locks and concurrency control in APO for best practices and configuration guidelines.
  
  If the problem persists after trying the above solutions, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP Basis or APO support team for further investigation and assistance.
