• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMTMS/LOG_INT048 - Reassignment not possible, FU &1 is locked ?

  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/LOG_INT048 indicates that a freight unit (FU) is locked, which prevents reassignment. This typically occurs in the context of SAP Transportation Management (TM) when a freight unit is being processed or is in use by another transaction or user.
  Cause:
  
  Concurrent Access: The freight unit is currently being processed by another user or transaction, which locks it for editing.
  Incomplete Processing: The freight unit may be in a state where it cannot be reassigned due to incomplete processing steps.
  System Lock: The system may have a temporary lock due to a previous transaction that did not complete successfully.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Lock Status: Use transaction code SM12 to check for locks on the freight unit. You can search for locks related to the specific freight unit number.
  
  If you find a lock, determine the user or process that is holding the lock and resolve the situation (e.g., wait for the user to finish or contact them).
  
  
  
  Release Locks: If you have the necessary authorizations, you can manually delete the lock entries in SM12. Be cautious with this approach, as it may disrupt other users' work.
  
  
  Review Processing Steps: Ensure that all necessary processing steps for the freight unit have been completed. If the freight unit is in a state that prevents reassignment, you may need to complete or cancel the current process.
  
  
  Check for Background Jobs: Sometimes, background jobs may hold locks on freight units. Check transaction SM37 for any running or failed jobs that might be affecting the freight unit.
