  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /ACCGO/CAS_MSG501 - &1 process started by user &2 at &3 ?

    The SAP error message /ACCGO/CAS_MSG501 typically indicates that a process related to the SAP Centralized Accounting (CAS) system has been initiated by a user. This message is often associated with the execution of a background job or a process that is part of the financial accounting module.

    Cause:

    1. Process Initiation: The message indicates that a specific process has been started by a user at a particular time. This could be due to a scheduled job or a manual execution of a transaction.
    2. User Permissions: The user may not have the necessary permissions to execute the process, leading to potential issues.
    3. System Configuration: There may be configuration issues within the CAS system that prevent the process from completing successfully.

SAP messages fall into 3 different categories: Error messages (message type = E), Warnings (W) or Informational (I) messages.

An error message will prevent you from continuing your work - it is a hard stop and you need to fix the error before you can proceed. A warning message will stop your work, however, you can then bypass the warning by pressing the Enter key on your keyboard. That said, it is still good practice to investigate the cause of the warning message and address it. An information message will not stop your work and is truly just for informational purposes.
