  Error Message
  WT202: Replenishment data for customer &1 blocked by user &2
  
  Cause
  This error occurs when the replenishment data for a specific customer is currently locked or blocked by another user in the system. The replenishment data is typically related to warehouse tasks or stock replenishment processes in SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) or Inventory Management.
  
  The system prevents simultaneous changes to the replenishment data to avoid data inconsistencies.
  User &2 currently holds a lock on the replenishment data for customer &1.
  This lock can happen if another user is editing or processing replenishment data and has not yet released the lock.
  
  
  When does it occur?
  
  During warehouse task creation or processing.
  When trying to update or change replenishment data for a customer.
  In scenarios involving stock replenishment or warehouse management processes where data consistency is critical.
  
  
  Solution
  
  
  Identify the user holding the lock:
  
  The message shows the user ID (&2) who currently blocks the replenishment data.
  Contact this user to check if they are still working on the data or if they can release the lock.
  
  
  
  Wait for the lock to be released:
  
  If the user is actively working, wait until they finish and the lock is released.
  
  
  
  Manually release the lock (if necessary and authorized):
  
  If the lock is due to a system error or the user is no longer working on it, a system administrator can release the lock.
  Use transaction SM12 (Lock Entries) to find and delete the lock entry related to the replenishment data for the customer.
  
  Search by user or object related to replenishment data.
  Delete the lock entry carefully to avoid data inconsistencies.
  
  
  
  
  
  Check for system or process errors:
  
  Sometimes locks remain due to system crashes or incomplete processes.
  Review system logs or background jobs related to replenishment.
  
  
  
  Preventive measures:
  
  Train users to properly exit transactions to release locks.
  Monitor long-running processes that might hold locks unnecessarily.
