• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMTMS/SB059 - Scenario template &1 is locked by user &2 ?

  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/SB059 Scenario template &1 is locked by user &2 typically occurs in the SAP Transportation Management (TM) module. This message indicates that a specific scenario template (identified by &1) is currently locked by another user (identified by &2), preventing you from making changes or accessing it.
  Cause:
  
  User Locking: The scenario template is being edited or accessed by another user, which causes a lock to prevent simultaneous modifications that could lead to data inconsistencies.
  Session Timeout: Sometimes, a user may have left a session open, and the system still recognizes that session as active, leading to a lock.
  Technical Issues: There could be technical issues or bugs in the system that are causing the lock to persist even after the user has finished their work.
  
  Solution:
  
  Wait and Retry: If the user who has locked the template is actively working on it, the simplest solution is to wait until they finish and release the lock.
  Contact the User: If you know who the user is, you can reach out to them to see if they can release the lock.
  Check Lock Entries: You can check the lock entries in the system using transaction code SM12. This will allow you to see which user has locked the scenario template and potentially release the lock if necessary.
  Release Lock: If you have the necessary authorizations, you can manually release the lock from transaction SM12. Be cautious with this approach, as it may lead to data loss or inconsistencies if the other user is still working on the template.
  System Restart: In some cases, a system restart may be required to clear any persistent locks that are not being released properly.
