• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPCE/FK_C1002 - Document &1 is blocked by user &2. Try later. ?

  The SAP error message /SAPCE/FK_C1002 Document &1 is blocked by user &2. Try later. typically indicates that a specific document (such as an invoice or a financial document) is currently locked by another user. This locking mechanism is a standard feature in SAP to prevent multiple users from making changes to the same document simultaneously, which could lead to data inconsistencies.
  Cause:
  
  Document Locking: The document identified by &1 is being edited or processed by user &2. This could happen if the user is currently working on the document or if a previous session did not release the lock properly.
  Long-running Transactions: If a user is taking a long time to complete their transaction, the document may remain locked for an extended period.
  System Issues: Occasionally, system issues or errors can cause locks to persist even after the user has finished their work.
  
  Solution:
  
  Wait and Retry: The simplest solution is to wait for a while and then try to access the document again. The lock will be released once the user finishes their transaction.
  Identify the User: If you have the necessary permissions, you can check which user has locked the document. This can be done using transaction codes like SM12 (for lock entries) or SM21 (for system logs).
  Contact the User: If possible, contact the user who has locked the document to see if they can release it or if they are still working on it.
  Force Unlock (if necessary): If the document remains locked for an extended period and you have the appropriate authorizations, you can manually delete the lock entry using transaction SM12. However, this should be done with caution, as it may lead to data inconsistencies if the user is still working on the document.
  Check for Background Jobs: Sometimes, background jobs may also lock documents. Check if there are any running jobs that might be causing the lock.
