  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SCME022 - Asynchronous operation execution has been prepared. ?

    The SAP error message SCME022, which states "Asynchronous operation execution has been prepared," typically indicates that an asynchronous operation has been initiated but has not yet completed. This message is often related to processes in SAP Supply Chain Management (SCM) or other modules that involve asynchronous processing.

    Cause:

    1. Asynchronous Processing: The error usually arises when a background job or asynchronous process is triggered but has not yet finished executing. This can happen due to various reasons, such as:

      • Long-running processes that take time to complete.
      • System performance issues or resource constraints.
      • Configuration issues in the asynchronous processing setup.
    2. Data Locking: If the data being processed is locked by another transaction, it may prevent the asynchronous operation from completing.

    3. Error in Previous Steps: If there was an error in a previous step of the process that was supposed to trigger the asynchronous operation, it may lead to this message.

    Solution:

    1. Check Job Status: Use transaction codes like SM37 to check the status of background jobs. Look for any jobs related to the asynchronous operation and see if they are still running or if they have failed.

    2. Monitor System Performance: Check system performance metrics to ensure that there are no resource bottlenecks (CPU, memory, etc.) that could be affecting the execution of asynchronous operations.

    3. Review Logs: Check the application logs (transaction SLG1) for any related error messages or warnings that could provide more context about why the operation is not completing.

    4. Data Locking: Investigate if there are any locks on the data being processed. You can use transaction SM12 to check for locks and release them if necessary.

    5. Retry the Operation: If the operation has failed or is stuck, you may need to manually retry the operation or restart the relevant background job.

    6. Configuration Review: Ensure that the configuration for asynchronous processing is set up correctly. This may involve checking settings in the relevant SAP modules.

    7. Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP Notes or documentation related to the specific module you are working with for any known issues or additional troubleshooting steps.

    Related Information:

    • SAP Notes: Search for relevant SAP Notes in the SAP Support Portal that may address specific issues related to SCME022.
    • SAP Community: Engage with the SAP Community forums to see if other users have encountered similar issues and what solutions they found effective.
    • System Administration: Involve your SAP Basis team if the issue seems to be related to system performance or configuration.

    If the problem persists after trying the above solutions, it may be necessary to escalate the issue to SAP support for further assistance.
