/SAPAPO/PEGAREA003 - Details

• The SAP error message /SAPAPO/PEGAREA003 indicates a conflict with a parallel transaction when trying to create a pegging area in the Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) module. This error typically arises when multiple users or processes are attempting to create or modify the same pegging area simultaneously, leading to a lock conflict.
  
  Cause:
  
  Concurrent Access: The most common cause of this error is that another user or process is already working on the same pegging area, which results in a lock being placed on that area.
  Long-running Transactions: If a transaction takes a long time to complete, it can block other transactions from accessing the same pegging area.
  System Configuration: In some cases, system settings related to locking mechanisms or transaction handling may contribute to this issue.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Retry the Operation: Wait for a few moments and then try to create the pegging area again. This is often the simplest solution if the conflict is temporary.
