  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VA060 - Address list &1& is already being edited ?

    The SAP error message VA060 indicates that the address list you are trying to edit is currently being edited by another user or session. This can happen in various scenarios, such as when multiple users are trying to access the same address data simultaneously.

    Cause:

    1. Concurrent Editing: Another user is currently editing the address list.
    2. Session Lock: The address list may be locked due to a previous session that did not close properly.
    3. Database Lock: There might be a database lock on the address list due to ongoing transactions.

    Solution:

    1. Check for Other Users: Verify if another user is currently editing the address list. You can do this by checking the user sessions in the system.
    2. Wait and Retry: If another user is editing the address, wait for them to finish and then try again.
    3. Log Off and Log Back In: Sometimes, logging off and back into the system can clear session locks.
    4. Transaction SM12: Use transaction code SM12 to check for any locks on the address list. If you find a lock that is no longer valid (e.g., from a user who has logged off), you can delete the lock entry.
    5. Transaction SM21: Check the system log using transaction SM21 for any related errors or messages that might provide more context.
    6. Contact System Administrator: If the issue persists, contact your SAP system administrator for further assistance. They may need to investigate deeper into the system's locking mechanisms or database issues.

    Related Information:

    • Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes like SM12 (for lock entries), SM21 (for system logs), and SU01 (for user management).
    • SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to this error message.
    • User Training: Ensure that users are trained on how to properly exit transactions to avoid leaving sessions open and causing locks.

    By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the VA060 error and continue working with the address list in SAP.
