• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WSTRN111 - Posting process is not completed yet; try later ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WSTRN111 Posting process is not completed yet; try later
  
  Cause:
  This error typically occurs in SAP Treasury and Risk Management (TRM) or Cash Management modules when a posting process (such as a payment run, settlement, or financial transaction posting) is still in progress or locked by another process. The system prevents further posting or processing on the same document or transaction until the current posting process is fully completed.
  Common scenarios include:  
  
  A background job or batch process is still running and has not finished posting the transaction.  
  The document or transaction is locked by another user or process.  
  An incomplete or interrupted posting process left the transaction in an inconsistent state.  
  Posting is delayed due to system performance or database locks.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Wait and Retry:
  
  Since the message suggests the posting process is not completed yet, wait for some time and try the posting or processing again later.
  
  
  Check Background Jobs:  
  
  Use transaction SM37 to check if any relevant background jobs (e.g., payment runs, settlement jobs) are still running or stuck.  
  If a job is stuck or running for too long, investigate and possibly cancel or restart it.
  
  
  
  Check Locks:  
  
  Use transaction SM12 to check for any locks on the relevant document or transaction.  
  If locks exist and are obsolete (e.g., from a crashed session), release them carefully after confirming no active process is using them.
  
  
  
  Check Posting Status:  
  
  Review the status of the transaction/document in the relevant module (e.g., TRM, FI).  
  Ensure that the posting process has completed successfully or identify if it is in an error state.
  
  
  
  System Performance:  
  
  If the system is slow or database locks are frequent, coordinate with the Basis team to check system health and database locks.
  
  
  
  Reprocess or Reset:  
  
  If the posting process was interrupted, you may need to reset or reprocess the transaction.  
  Consult SAP notes or your functional consultant for specific reset procedures.
