• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FZ596 - Items locked by SAP Business Integrity Screening ?

  The SAP error message FZ596, which states "Items locked by SAP Business Integrity Screening," typically occurs when a transaction or document is being processed in SAP, but the items are locked due to the Business Integrity Screening (BIS) module. This module is designed to ensure compliance and integrity in business processes by screening transactions against predefined rules and criteria.
  Cause:
  
  Active Screening Process: The items are currently being screened by the SAP Business Integrity Screening module, which may lock them temporarily until the screening process is complete.

  Solution:
  
  Wait for Screening Completion: If the items are being screened, wait for the process to complete. The lock should be released automatically once the screening is done.
  Check Lock Status: Use transaction code SM12 to check for locks on the items. If you find locks that are no longer needed, you can release them if you have the necessary authorizations.
  Review BIS Configuration: Check the configuration settings of the SAP Business Integrity Screening module to ensure that it is set up correctly and not causing unnecessary locks.
  Contact Administrator: If you are unable to resolve the issue, contact your SAP system administrator or the team responsible for the BIS module. They can provide insights into the specific locks and may be able to release them or adjust settings.
  Error Logs: Review the error logs for any additional information that may help diagnose the issue. This can be done using transaction codes like SLG1 for application logs.
