• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WGDS_CONFIRMATION102 - System failure:Item &1 could not be locked ?

  The SAP error message:
  WGDS_CONFIRMATION102: System failure: Item &1 could not be locked
  typically occurs in the context of Warehouse Management (WM) or Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) processes, especially during goods movement confirmations or warehouse task processing.
  
  Cause
  
  Locking Conflict: The error indicates that the system tried to lock a particular item (e.g., a warehouse task, transfer order, or document item) but failed because the item is already locked by another user or process.
  Concurrent Access: This usually happens when two or more users or background jobs attempt to process or confirm the same warehouse task or document item simultaneously.
  Long-running Transactions: Sometimes, a previous process or user session has locked the item and has not released the lock yet (e.g., due to a long-running transaction, system hang, or incomplete process).
  Inconsistent System State: In rare cases, system inconsistencies or database locking issues can cause the lock to remain even though no active process is using it.
