• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message TR_AUSL111 - Delivery &1 is locked by user &2 (no change possible) ?

  The SAP error message TR_AUSL111 indicates that a delivery document (identified by &1) is currently locked by a user (identified by &2), which prevents any changes from being made to that delivery. This is a common issue in SAP systems, particularly in environments where multiple users may be accessing and modifying documents simultaneously.
  Cause:
  
  User Lock: The delivery document is being edited or processed by another user, which results in a lock being placed on the document to prevent conflicting changes.
  Transaction in Progress: A transaction related to the delivery is still in progress, and the system has locked the document until the transaction is completed.
  System Error: Occasionally, a system error or an unexpected termination of a session can leave a document in a locked state.
  
  Solution:
  
  Wait and Retry: If the lock is due to another user actively working on the document, the simplest solution is to wait until that user has completed their work and released the lock.
  Identify the Locking User: You can use transaction code SM12 to view and manage locks in the system. This transaction allows you to see which user is holding the lock on the delivery document.
  
  Enter the delivery document number in the appropriate field and execute the transaction.
  Identify the user who has locked the document.
  
  
  Contact the Locking User: If possible, contact the user who is holding the lock to determine if they can release it or if they are finished with their changes.
  Release the Lock (if necessary): If the locking user is unavailable and you have the necessary authorizations, you can manually delete the lock using transaction SM12. However, this should be done with caution, as it may lead to data inconsistencies if the other user is still working on the document.
  Check for Background Jobs: Sometimes, background jobs may also lock documents. Check transaction SM37 to see if any background jobs are running that might be affecting the delivery document.
  System Restart: In rare cases, if the lock persists and cannot be resolved through the above methods, a system restart may be necessary to clear any lingering locks.
