• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /ISDFPS/FDP140 - During delimitation of relationship of &1 &2 to P &3: P &3 is locked ?

  The SAP error message /ISDFPS/FDP140 typically occurs in the context of the SAP Flexible Real Estate Management (RE-FX) module, particularly when dealing with the delimitation of relationships between objects (like properties, contracts, etc.). The error indicates that the object (in this case, P &3) you are trying to modify or delimit is currently locked, which prevents the operation from being completed.
  Cause:
  
  
  Object Locking: The primary cause of this error is that the object (P &3) is locked by another user or process. This can happen if:
  
  Another user is currently editing the object.
  A background job is processing the object.
  The object is in a state that requires it to be locked (e.g., during a transaction).
  
  
  
  Transaction Management: If the system is set up to lock objects during certain transactions, this can lead to the error if the object is being accessed simultaneously.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Object Lock: 
  
  Use transaction code SM12 to check for locks on the object. You can search for the object using the relevant user ID or the object type.
  If you find that the object is locked by another user, you may need to wait until they finish their transaction or coordinate with them to release the lock.
  
  
  
  Release Locks: 
  
  If you determine that the lock is no longer needed (e.g., the user has left the session), you can manually delete the lock entry in SM12. However, be cautious with this approach, as it may disrupt other users.
  
  
  
  Retry the Operation: Once the lock is released, you can retry the delimitation operation.
  
  
  Check for Background Jobs: If a background job is locking the object, you may need to wait for the job to complete or check the job status in transaction SM37.
  
  
  Consult with Basis Team: If you are unable to resolve the locking issue, it may be necessary to consult with your SAP Basis team for further investigation.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  
  Transaction Codes:
  
  SM12: To view and manage lock entries.
  SM37: To monitor background jobs.
  SE11: To check the data dictionary for the relevant tables and structures.
  
  
  
  Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for more details on the RE-FX module and object management.
  
  
  User Coordination: Ensure that users are aware of the locking mechanism and coordinate when working on shared objects to minimize conflicts.
  
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the error and successfully delimit the relationship in SAP.
