• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/LM_EWRKL011 - A perf. doc. is processed by user &1 for the processing end of the EWL ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/LM_EWRKL011 indicates that a performance document (such as a warehouse task or handling unit) is currently being processed by another user. This can occur in the context of Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) when multiple users attempt to process the same document simultaneously.
  Cause:
  
  Concurrent Processing: Another user is currently processing the same performance document, which prevents your action from being completed.
  Lock Mechanism: SAP uses a locking mechanism to ensure data integrity. When one user is working on a document, it is locked for others to prevent conflicting changes.
  Session Timeout: If a user has left a session open for too long without activity, the document may remain locked until the session is closed or times out.
  
  Solution:
  
  Wait and Retry: If possible, wait for the other user to complete their processing and then try again.
  Identify the User: If you have access to transaction codes like SM12 (to view lock entries), you can check which user is currently processing the document. You may need to coordinate with that user to resolve the issue.
  Contact System Administrator: If the lock persists and you cannot identify the user, contact your SAP system administrator. They can help release the lock if necessary.
  Check for Background Jobs: Sometimes, background jobs may also hold locks. Ensure that no background processes are running that could be affecting the document.
  Review User Roles and Permissions: Ensure that users have the appropriate roles and permissions to avoid unnecessary locks.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with transaction codes like SM12 (to view and manage locks) and SM21 (to check system logs) for troubleshooting.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to this error message.
  Documentation: Review the SAP EWM documentation for best practices on handling performance documents and managing user sessions.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the error and continue with your processing tasks in SAP EWM.
