• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SKWT_MESSAGES145 - Start attribute value "CHECKED_OUT" is: &1 ?

  The SAP error message SKWT_MESSAGES145 typically indicates an issue related to the status of a document or object in the SAP system, specifically when it is in a "CHECKED_OUT" state. This error can occur in various contexts, such as when working with SAP Document Management System (DMS) or other applications that involve document handling.
  Cause:
  The error message suggests that the system is trying to access or process an object that is currently checked out by a user. When an object is checked out, it is locked for editing, and other users cannot make changes or perform certain actions on it until it is checked back in.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Out Status: Verify if the object (document, file, etc.) is indeed checked out. You can do this by checking the status in the relevant SAP transaction or application.
  
  
  Check In the Document: If you have the necessary permissions, check in the document to release the lock. This can usually be done through the DMS interface or the specific application you are using.
  
  
  Contact the User: If the document is checked out by another user, you may need to contact that user to ask them to check it back in.
  
  
  Force Check-In: If the user who checked out the document is unavailable, and if your role allows it, you may have the option to force a check-in. This should be done with caution, as it may overwrite unsaved changes.
  
  
  Review Permissions: Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to perform actions on the document. If not, you may need to contact your SAP administrator.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific instructions related to the application you are using.
