• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/DELIVERY060 - Warehouse request &1 with item &2 could not be locked ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/DELIVERY060 indicates that a warehouse request (or delivery) could not be locked for processing. This typically occurs in the context of the Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module in SAP. Here’s a breakdown of the potential causes, solutions, and related information for this error:
  Causes:
  
  Concurrent Access: The warehouse request or item is being accessed or modified by another user or process, leading to a lock conflict.
  System Performance Issues: High system load or performance issues may prevent the locking mechanism from functioning properly.
  Database Locking: There may be database-level locks that are preventing the request from being locked.
  Configuration Issues: Incorrect configuration in the EWM settings or in the warehouse request processing could lead to locking issues.
  Long-running Transactions: If a transaction is taking too long to complete, it may hold locks longer than expected, causing other requests to fail.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check for Active Sessions: Use transaction codes like SM12 (to check for locks) and SM21 (to check system logs) to identify if another user or process is holding a lock on the warehouse request or item.
  Wait and Retry: If the issue is due to concurrent access, waiting for a short period and then retrying the operation may resolve the issue.
  Review System Performance: Monitor system performance and check for any bottlenecks that may be affecting the locking mechanism.
  Database Administration: If database locks are suspected, a database administrator may need to investigate and resolve any locking issues at the database level.
  Configuration Review: Review the configuration settings in EWM to ensure that they are set up correctly and that there are no conflicts.
  Transaction Management: Ensure that long-running transactions are optimized and that they do not hold locks longer than necessary.
