Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/DELIVERY584 - No documents could be validated due to locking error ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/DELIVERY584 indicates that there is a locking issue preventing the validation of documents in the SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) system. This error typically arises when multiple users or processes are trying to access or modify the same document simultaneously, leading to a conflict.
  Cause:
  
  Locking Mechanism: SAP uses a locking mechanism to ensure data integrity. If one user or process has locked a document for editing, other users or processes will be unable to access it until the lock is released.
  Long-running Transactions: If a transaction takes too long to complete, it can hold locks longer than expected, causing other transactions to fail.
  Concurrent Processing: Multiple users or background jobs trying to process the same document at the same time can lead to locking errors.
  System Performance Issues: High system load or performance issues can exacerbate locking problems.
  
  Solution:
  
  Identify the Lock: Use transaction code SM12 to check for existing locks. You can filter by user or object to find out which document is locked and by whom.
  Release the Lock: If you identify a lock that is no longer needed, you can manually release it from the SM12 transaction. However, be cautious when doing this, as it may lead to data inconsistencies if the lock is still needed.
  Retry the Operation: After the lock is released, try to perform the operation again.
  Optimize Transactions: Review and optimize long-running transactions to minimize the time locks are held. This may involve breaking down large processes into smaller, more manageable ones.
  Avoid Concurrent Processing: If possible, avoid having multiple users or processes working on the same document simultaneously. Implementing a queuing mechanism can help manage this.
  System Monitoring: Regularly monitor system performance and locking behavior to identify and address potential issues before they lead to errors.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may provide additional insights or patches related to this error.
  Documentation: Review SAP EWM documentation for best practices on handling locks and managing warehouse processes.
  User Training: Ensure that users are trained on how to handle locking issues and the importance of completing transactions promptly to avoid holding locks unnecessarily.
