• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VDM_QM_PLANNING_BO011 - Draft owned by another user. Unsaved changes will be lost. ?

  The SAP error message "VDM_QM_PLANNING_BO011 Draft owned by another user. Unsaved changes will be lost." typically occurs in the context of the SAP Quality Management (QM) module when a user attempts to access or modify a draft that is currently owned by another user. This can happen in various scenarios, such as when multiple users are working on the same draft or when a user tries to open a draft that was previously saved by someone else.
  Cause:
  
  Draft Ownership: The draft you are trying to access is locked because it is owned by another user. SAP uses a locking mechanism to prevent multiple users from editing the same draft simultaneously, which could lead to data inconsistencies.
  Session Issues: Sometimes, if a user has an active session that has not been properly closed, it may still hold a lock on the draft.
  User Permissions: The user may not have the necessary permissions to access or modify the draft owned by another user.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Draft Ownership: Identify who owns the draft. You may need to communicate with the user who has the draft open to either complete their work or release the draft.
  Wait for Release: If possible, wait for the other user to finish their work and release the draft. Once they save or discard their changes, you should be able to access it.
  Use a Different Draft: If the draft is not critical, consider creating a new draft instead of trying to access the locked one.
  Log Out and Log In: If you suspect a session issue, log out of SAP and log back in to refresh your session.
  Contact SAP Support: If the issue persists and you believe it is a system error, contact your SAP support team for assistance. They may need to release the lock on the draft or investigate further.
  
  Related Information:
  
  User Roles and Permissions: Ensure that you have the appropriate roles and permissions to access and modify drafts in the QM module.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional troubleshooting steps.
