• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SY363 - Transaction ID & is being executed or was already executed ?

  The SAP error message SY363 indicates that a transaction with a specific Transaction ID is currently being executed or has already been executed. This error typically occurs in scenarios where a transaction is being processed, and the system does not allow a duplicate execution of the same transaction ID.
  Cause:
  
  Concurrent Execution: The transaction is already running in the background or is being executed by another user/session.
  Session Lock: The transaction might be locked due to a previous execution that has not yet completed.
  System Configuration: Certain configurations in the system may prevent the same transaction from being executed multiple times simultaneously.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Active Sessions: Use transaction codes like SM50 (Process Overview) or SM66 (Global Process Overview) to check if the transaction is currently running. If it is, you may need to wait for it to complete.
  Terminate the Process: If you find that the transaction is stuck or not progressing, you may need to terminate the process. This can be done in SM50 by selecting the process and choosing to end it.
  Review Logs: Check the application logs or system logs for any errors or warnings that might indicate why the transaction is not completing.
  User Lock: If the transaction is being executed by another user, you may need to coordinate with that user to resolve the issue.
  Transaction ID Management: Ensure that your transaction IDs are being managed properly and that there are no conflicts in the execution logic.
