Lock Entries - How to unlock

[Former Member]

Hi Gurus,

I have an ID locking the Interactive Planning --> Demand Planning Area, this is not showing up in SM12,

but showing up from the menu --> Edit --> Lock Entries.

What do I do to unlock these?

Thanks

Probably User might have logged out of the session abruptly. You can ask the user to login and again log out of the session. This should unlock it.

Hi

If you are not able to see user from SM12, check SM50 find user with perticular work process and kill the work process with option without core. This will help.

Before killing work process check with user first.

Also /SAPAPO/TS_DM_UNLOCK_NEW or /SAPAPO/TS_DM_UNLOCK is not working.

Hi,

You can review the Global Work Process from transaction SM66 and long running Work Process can be canceled from Edit > Process > Cancel.

Thanks,

Hello all,

Thanks for your time and response. But there has been an abrupt shutdown of the system, and there is nothing in SM04, SM12, SM66 SM50 running as suggested by all of you. And the locked planning areas are getting unlocked after certain period of time. This is a recurring problem happening to Planning areas.

I am trying to see if I have to patch my system, this is new dev installation SAP SCM version 5.1

Any ideas would be helpful.

Thanks

I would suggest check OSS , you might get same problem over there and try to fix by OSS notes if available it will take less time than patching

Hi JS,

Locking of Planning Area can be because of a background job running. If its a recurring problem i will suggest you to check the periodic jobs. As most of the jobs have the option of locking the planning areas when they are executed, so its possible someone might have created a job and is periodically running without you being aware of it.
