• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/EHS_DG030 - Header data of delivery document &1 being edited ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/EHS_DG030 indicates that the header data of a delivery document is currently being edited. This typically occurs in the context of the Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module, particularly when dealing with Dangerous Goods (DG) management.
  Cause:
  
  Concurrent Editing: The most common cause of this error is that another user or process is currently editing the same delivery document. SAP locks the document to prevent data inconsistencies.
  System Lock: The document may be locked due to a previous transaction that has not been completed or has encountered an error.
  Background Jobs: Sometimes, background jobs or processes may be holding a lock on the document.
  
  Solution:
  
  Wait and Retry: If another user is editing the document, you may need to wait until they finish and then try again.
  Check Locks: Use transaction code SM12 to check for locks on the delivery document. If you find a lock that should not be there, you can delete it (if you have the necessary authorizations).
  Identify the User: If you find that a specific user is holding the lock, you may want to communicate with them to understand why they are editing the document.
  Review Background Jobs: Check if there are any background jobs that might be processing the delivery document. You can use transaction code SM37 to monitor background jobs.
  Transaction Rollback: If a previous transaction failed and left the document in a locked state, you may need to roll back that transaction or resolve any issues that caused it to fail.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as SM12 (to check locks), SM37 (to monitor background jobs), and SE11 (to check table definitions if needed).
  User Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to view and manage locks.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional troubleshooting steps.
  Documentation: Review the SAP EWM documentation for more information on handling delivery documents and dangerous goods management.
