• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SDRAFT_COMMON003 - Others can now edit this object. You might lose changes you didnÆt save. ?

  The SAP error message SDRAFT_COMMON003 typically occurs in the context of SAP's draft functionality, particularly when multiple users are working on the same object or document. This message indicates that another user has opened the same draft, and if you continue to edit it without saving, you risk losing any unsaved changes.
  
  Cause:
  
  Concurrent Access: Another user has opened the same draft document, and the system is warning you that your changes may conflict with theirs.
  Session Timeout: If your session has been inactive for a while, the system may have automatically saved the draft, allowing others to edit it.
  Draft Locking Mechanism: SAP uses a locking mechanism to prevent data inconsistencies. If a draft is already being edited by someone else, you will receive this warning.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Save Your Changes: If you have made changes that you want to keep, save your draft immediately. This will ensure that your changes are not lost.
