• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/SCC113 - User &1 already processing hierarchy &2 (Only possible to display) ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/SCC113 User &1 already processing hierarchy &2 (Only possible to display) typically occurs in the SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) module when a user attempts to modify or interact with a hierarchy that is already being processed by another user. This is a concurrency control mechanism to prevent data inconsistencies and conflicts.
  Cause:
  
  Concurrent Access: Another user is currently working on the same hierarchy, which locks it for editing.
  Session Management: The system may not have released the lock on the hierarchy due to an unclean exit or session timeout.
  Long-Running Processes: If a user is running a long process that involves the hierarchy, it may remain locked for an extended period.
  
  Solution:
  
  Wait and Retry: If possible, wait for the other user to finish their work and then try again.
  Check Active Sessions: Use transaction codes like SM12 (to check for locks) or SM21 (to check system logs) to identify if the hierarchy is locked by another user.
  Contact the User: If you can identify the user who is currently working on the hierarchy, you may want to contact them to see if they can finish their work or release the lock.
  Release Locks: If you have the necessary authorizations, you can manually release the lock using transaction SM12. However, be cautious with this approach as it may lead to data inconsistencies if the other user is still working on the hierarchy.
  System Configuration: If this issue occurs frequently, consider reviewing the system configuration and user access patterns to optimize how hierarchies are managed.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as SM12 for lock entries, SM21 for system logs, and ST22 for dumps.
  User Training: Ensure that users are trained on how to properly exit sessions and manage their work to minimize locking issues.
  Performance Monitoring: Monitor the performance of the APO system to identify any long-running processes that may be causing locks.
