• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message W5058 - Data in & for item & does not correspond to current database status ?

  The SAP error message:
  W5058: Data in & for item & does not correspond to current database status
  
  Meaning / Cause:
  This warning message indicates that the data you are trying to process or update for a particular item (line item, document item, etc.) does not match the current status of that item in the database. Essentially, the system has detected a discrepancy between the data you are working with and the actual data stored in the database.
  This can happen due to:
  
  Outdated or inconsistent data: The data in your session or input is not synchronized with the latest data in the database.
  Concurrent changes: Another user or process has updated the item after you retrieved it but before you tried to post or change it.
  Incorrect or incomplete data entry: The data entered does not comply with the current business rules or status of the item.
  Locking issues: The item might be locked or in a status that prevents the requested operation.
  
  
  Typical Scenarios:
  
  When changing or posting documents (e.g., sales orders, purchase orders, material documents).
  When updating master data or transactional data.
  When performing batch input or data migration where the source data is not aligned with the target system status.
  
  
  Solution / How to Resolve:
  
  
  Refresh the data:
  
  Retrieve the latest data from the database before making changes.
  Ensure you are working with the current version of the item.
  
  
  
  Check for locks or concurrent changes:
  
  Verify if the item is locked by another user or process.
  Wait for the lock to be released or coordinate with other users.
  
  
  
  Verify data consistency:
  
  Check if the data you are entering or processing complies with the current business rules.
  Correct any discrepancies in the data.
  
  
  
  Reprocess or re-enter the transaction:
  
  Cancel the current operation.
  Start again with fresh data from the database.
