  The SAP error message SRM_ECM_MSG115 indicates that a document is currently checked out by a user, and another user is attempting to check in that document. This situation typically arises in the context of SAP Supplier Relationship Management (SRM) when multiple users are trying to access or modify the same document simultaneously.
  Cause:
  
  Document Checkout: The document is checked out by a user (User &1), which means that they have exclusive access to make changes to it.

  Session Timeout: The user who checked out the document may have logged out or their session may have timed out without checking the document back in.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Document Status: Verify who has the document checked out. The user who has it checked out (User &1) needs to check it back in before another user can check it in.
  Contact the User: If possible, contact the user who has the document checked out and ask them to check it back in.
  Force Check-In: If the user who has the document checked out is unavailable, you may need to use administrative tools or functions within SAP to force the check-in of the document. This should be done with caution, as it may lead to loss of unsaved changes.
  Session Management: Ensure that users are properly logging out or checking in documents to avoid session-related issues.
  
  Related Information:
