• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /ACCGO/DGR187 - Required data locked by &1; can be viewed in display mode only ?

  The SAP error message /ACCGO/DGR187 Required data locked by &1; can be viewed in display mode only typically indicates that the data you are trying to access or modify is currently locked by another user or process. This locking mechanism is a standard feature in SAP to prevent data inconsistencies that can occur when multiple users attempt to change the same data simultaneously.
  Cause:
  
  User Lock: Another user is currently editing the same data.
  Background Job: A background job is running that has locked the data.
  Transaction Lock: The transaction you are trying to execute has a lock on the data due to a previous operation that has not yet been completed.
  System Lock: The system may have a lock due to a specific configuration or process that is running.
  
  Solution:
  
  Wait and Retry: If the lock is temporary (e.g., another user is editing the data), wait for a while and try again.
  Identify the Locking User: Use transaction code SM12 to check for locks. You can see which user is holding the lock and what data is locked. If necessary, you can contact the user to ask them to release the lock.
  Release the Lock: If you have the necessary authorizations, you can manually delete the lock entry in SM12. However, be cautious with this approach, as it may lead to data inconsistencies if the other user is still working on the data.
  Check Background Jobs: Use transaction code SM37 to check if there are any background jobs that might be locking the data. If you find a job that is causing the lock, you may need to wait for it to complete or contact the job owner.
  Consult with IT Support: If you are unable to resolve the issue, it may be necessary to consult with your IT support team or SAP Basis team for further assistance.
