• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SCRM152 - Check exception locked by user &1 ?

  The SAP error message SCRM152 ("Check exception locked by user &1") typically occurs in the context of SAP's Supplier Relationship Management (SRM) or similar modules where checks or exceptions are being processed. This error indicates that a particular check or exception is currently locked by another user, preventing you from accessing or modifying it.
  Cause:
  
  Concurrent Access: Another user is currently working on the same check or exception, which locks it for editing.
  Session Timeout: A previous session may not have released the lock due to a timeout or an unexpected termination.
  System Configuration: The system may have specific configurations that enforce locking mechanisms for data integrity.
  
  Solution:
  
  Wait and Retry: If another user is working on the check, you may need to wait until they finish and release the lock. You can periodically check if the lock has been released.
  Identify the Locking User: If you have the necessary permissions, you can check which user is holding the lock. This can often be done using transaction codes like SM12 (for lock entries) or SM21 (for system logs).
  Contact the User: If you identify the user who is locking the check, you can reach out to them to see if they can complete their task or release the lock.
  Release the Lock: If the locking user is no longer active (e.g., they have logged out or their session has crashed), a system administrator can manually release the lock using transaction SM12.
  Check for System Issues: If this issue occurs frequently, it may be worth investigating if there are underlying system performance issues or configuration settings that need adjustment.
