VSB312 - Details

• The SAP error message VSB312 ("Transfer &1: Transfer is already active") typically occurs in the context of data transfer processes, such as during the transfer of stock or inventory data between different systems or modules within SAP. This error indicates that a transfer process is already in progress for the specified object (denoted by &1), and therefore, a new transfer cannot be initiated until the current one is completed or terminated.
  Causes:
  
  Concurrent Transfers: Another transfer process is already running for the same object, which prevents a new transfer from being initiated.
  System Lock: The system may have a lock on the object due to ongoing processes or transactions.
  Incomplete Previous Transfer: A previous transfer may not have completed successfully, leaving the object in a locked state.
  
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings that are causing the system to incorrectly identify an active transfer.
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Active Transfers: Use transaction codes like SM37 (Job Monitoring) to
