• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/GOODS_MOVEMENT312 - Not all documents could be locked; relevant documents: &1, locked: &2 ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/GOODS_MOVEMENT312 indicates that not all documents could be locked during a goods movement operation in the Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module. This typically occurs when there are concurrent processes trying to access the same documents, leading to a locking conflict.
  Cause:
  
  Concurrent Access: Another transaction or process is currently accessing the same document, preventing your transaction from obtaining a lock.
  Long-Running Transactions: If a transaction takes too long to complete, it may hold locks on documents longer than expected, causing subsequent transactions to fail.
  System Performance Issues: High system load or performance issues can lead to delays in locking mechanisms.
  Configuration Issues: Incorrect configuration of the locking mechanism or document types in EWM can also lead to this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  Retry the Operation: Often, simply retrying the operation after a short wait can resolve the issue if it was caused by a temporary lock.
  Check for Concurrent Processes: Use transaction codes like SM12 (to view and manage locks) to check if there are any other processes holding locks on the relevant documents. If you find any unnecessary locks, you may need to terminate those sessions.
  Optimize Long-Running Transactions: Review and optimize any long-running transactions that may be holding locks for extended periods.
  System Performance Monitoring: Monitor system performance and resource usage to identify any bottlenecks that may be affecting locking mechanisms.
  Configuration Review: Review the configuration settings related to document locking in EWM to ensure they are set up correctly.
  Consult SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide patches or updates that could resolve the issue.
  
  Related Information:

  SAP Support: If the issue persists, consider reaching out to SAP support for further assistance, especially if it appears to be a bug or requires deeper investigation.
  Documentation: Review SAP documentation related to EWM and goods movement for best practices and guidelines on handling document locks.
