  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WR507 - Count list &4, company &1, date &2 blocked by user &3 ?

    Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:


    SAP Error Message:

    WR507: Count list &4, company &1, date &2 blocked by user &3


    Meaning / Cause:

    This message indicates that the physical inventory count list (inventory document) identified by the placeholders (count list number &4, company code &1, and date &2) is currently blocked or locked by another user (&3). This lock prevents other users from making changes or processing the count list simultaneously to avoid data inconsistencies.

    In SAP, when a user opens or processes a physical inventory document, the system locks the document to prevent concurrent changes. If another user tries to access or modify the same document while it is locked, this error message appears.


    Typical Causes:

    • Another user is currently working on or has the count list open.
    • The previous user session did not close properly, leaving the lock active.
    • A background job or process is currently processing the count list.
    • System or network issues caused a lock to remain even though the user is no longer active.

    Solution / How to Resolve:

    1. Identify the User Holding the Lock:

      • The message shows the user ID (&3) who currently holds the lock.
      • Contact that user to check if they are still working on the count list.
    2. Wait or Coordinate:

      • If the user is actively working, wait until they finish and release the lock.
      • Coordinate with the user to finish their task or log off properly.
    3. Check and Remove Locks Manually (if necessary):

      • If the user is no longer working or the lock is stale, an administrator can check and remove the lock.
      • Use transaction SM12 (Lock Entries) to find and delete the lock entries related to the count list.
        • In SM12, enter the user name or relevant object to find the lock.
        • Delete the lock entry carefully to avoid data inconsistencies.
    4. Check for Background Jobs:

      • Verify if any background jobs are processing the count list.
      • Wait for the job to complete or check with the responsible team.
    5. System Restart (last resort):

      • If locks persist due to system issues, a system restart might be necessary (usually done by BASIS team).

    Related Information:

    • Transaction Codes:

      • MI01 / MI04 / MI07 – Physical inventory document creation and processing.
      • SM12 – Display and delete lock entries.
      • SM21 – System log to check for errors.
      • SM37 – Check background jobs.
    • Lock Objects:

      • Physical inventory documents are locked using specific lock objects to ensure data integrity during inventory count processing.
    • Best Practices:

      • Always ensure users close their sessions properly.
      • Avoid multiple users working on the same count list simultaneously.
      • Regularly monitor and clear stale locks.

    If you need further assistance or specific steps for your SAP version, please provide additional details such as the module (e.g., MM-IM), transaction used, or system environment.


    Summary:
    The error WR507 means the physical inventory count list is locked by another user. Coordinate with that user or remove the lock via SM12 to proceed.
