  The SAP error message SHDB_PFW003 indicates that a parallel process has returned with an exception during the execution of a batch input session. This error typically occurs when using the Batch Input Recording (SHDB) functionality in SAP, which allows users to automate data entry by recording transactions.
  Causes:
  
  Data Issues: The data being processed may contain invalid or inconsistent entries that lead to exceptions during processing.

  Adjust Parallel Processing Settings: If the issue is related to system resources, consider adjusting the settings for parallel processing or running the batch input with fewer parallel processes.
