• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SRMSMC/REPLICATION139 - Resending of suppliers to system &1 has been started in the background ?

  The SAP error message /SRMSMC/REPLICATION139 indicates that there is an ongoing process related to the replication of suppliers to a specified system (denoted as &1). This message typically arises in the context of Supplier Relationship Management (SRM) and can occur during the synchronization of supplier data between systems.
  Cause:
  
  Ongoing Replication Process: The message indicates that a background job for resending supplier data is already in progress. This can happen if a previous replication attempt did not complete successfully or is still running.
  System Load: High system load or performance issues may cause delays in the replication process, leading to multiple attempts to resend data.
  Configuration Issues: Incorrect configuration settings in the SRM system or the connected backend system can lead to replication issues.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Background Jobs: 
  
  Go to transaction code SM37 to check the status of background jobs. Look for jobs related to supplier replication and see if they are still running or if they have failed.
  If a job is running for an extended period, you may need to analyze it further or terminate it if necessary.
  
  
  
  Review Logs: 
  
  Check the application logs using transaction code SLG1 for any detailed error messages or warnings related to the replication process. This can provide insights into what might be causing the issue.
  
  
  
  System Performance: 
  
  Monitor system performance and resource utilization. If the system is under heavy load, consider scheduling replication jobs during off-peak hours.
  
  
  
  Configuration Review: 
  
  Verify the configuration settings for supplier replication in both the SRM and backend systems. Ensure that all necessary settings are correctly configured.

  If the previous replication attempt has failed, you may need to manually trigger the replication process again after resolving any underlying issues.
