• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message AA760 - Restart is only possible using the terminated program ?

  The SAP error message AA760 indicates that a restart of a program is only possible if the program has been terminated. This error typically occurs in the context of Asset Accounting (AA) when there is an issue with the processing of asset transactions or when a program is trying to restart a process that has not been properly terminated.
  Cause:
  
  Program Termination: The program you are trying to restart has not been terminated correctly. This could be due to an unexpected error or interruption during processing.
  Lock Issues: There may be locks on the database or application that prevent the program from terminating or restarting.
  Incomplete Processing: The program may have been interrupted, leading to incomplete processing of transactions, which can cause issues when trying to restart.
