• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMTMS/PLN_VSR_OL004 - &1 &2 was changed in a parallel session; save your data and refresh ?

  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/PLN_VSR_OL004 typically indicates that the data you are trying to work with has been modified in another session or by another user. This is a common issue in systems where multiple users are accessing and modifying the same data concurrently. Here’s a breakdown of the cause, potential solutions, and related information:
  Cause:
  
  Concurrent Access: The error occurs when two or more users are trying to edit the same data at the same time. One user may have saved changes, which causes the data in your session to become outdated.
  Session Management: SAP uses a locking mechanism to prevent data inconsistencies. If another session has locked the data you are trying to edit, you will receive this error.
  Data Refresh: The system detects that the data you are working with has been changed and prompts you to refresh your view to ensure you are working with the most current data.
  
  Solution:
  
  Save Your Work: If you have unsaved changes, save your data first. This may involve either saving your changes or discarding them if they are not needed.
  Refresh the Data: After saving, refresh the screen or the data you are working with. This can usually be done by pressing the F5 key or using the refresh button in the SAP GUI.
  Reopen the Transaction: If refreshing does not resolve the issue, you may need to exit the transaction and reopen it to ensure you are working with the latest data.
  Check for Locks: If you suspect that another user is editing the same data, you can check for locks using transaction code SM12 to see if there are any active locks on the data you are trying to access.
  Communicate with Team Members: If you are working in a collaborative environment, communicate with your team members to ensure that you are not stepping on each other's toes when editing data.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any specific patches or updates related to this error message. Sometimes, there may be known issues or fixes provided by SAP.
  User Training: Ensure that all users are trained on how to handle concurrent data access and the importance of refreshing data in SAP.
  System Configuration: In some cases, system configuration settings related to session management and locking behavior may need to be reviewed by your SAP Basis team.
  
  If the problem persists after trying the above solutions, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or refer to SAP documentation for further troubleshooting steps.
