Report is Currenty being Edited by SAP_SYSTEM

[Former Member]

We receive credit card imports daily at 14:00. If a user has his report open while the import is trying to auto assign his report, I think the report becomes locked by SAP saying:  "expense report is currently being edited by SAP_SYSTEM"

Am I correct in my thinking? Also, the import is complete and his report is still locked by SAP. Why?

Thanks for any guidance.

Hi Britt,

SAP_SYSTEM is a generic system user, which is used for background jobs. If the expense report is edited by you while the system (user SAP_SYSTEM) tires to update it this is not possible. But still it seems that the user SAP_SYSTEM sets a lock for editing the expense report. Somehow this lock is not cleared up. Here I only can speculate what is the reason. It might be that this only happens at the end of a long running job or that the lock is not taken back at all by the credit card import. In that case it just will take a longer time, up to some hours, til the lock is released again.

Best regards, Reinhard
