Cycle cannot be started because run group is locked GA562

Hi CO Gurus

I am getting this error while running t-code KSVB ( Cost centre distribution - Plan ). Please advise how to resolve this.

Cycle cannot be started because run group is blocked

Message GA562

I searched old threads on this message but did not get any conclusive feedback.

We are on ECC 6.0, and there are 4 countries/9 Company codes in a single controlling area. When I check long text of error message, system shows user id that is locking transaction.

Though multiple users are running KSVB at same time within same controlling area, BUT they are using different cycle id. Then why above error is coming?

Does this mean that we should divide time to perform these activities, to ensure no problem happens at month end ?

Thanks in advance for feedback.

Regards

Hi....

If each cycles have same cycle group although they are using different cycle id, you will meet your error.

To resolve your problem , you must assign them to different cycle run groups to execute cycles simultaneously.

Hi

Thanks for feedback. I will try this in system.

Do I need to create separate cycle run group for Cost center distribution - Plan & Cost center distribution - Actual ?

Do I need to do this for steps like CO-PA Assessment and COPA-Top down distribution also ?

We have 3 processes CC-Distribution, COPA-Assessment & COPA-TDD in sequence both for Plan and Actual , to be executed for 9 company codes.

-Thanks

You should separate cycle run group for Cost center distribution/assessement – Plan&Actual  and CO-PA assessment  to avoid lock problem except for COPA-Top down distribution.

Hi

I think some body may keep this transaction open in his system...so check it and tell him to come out from the transaction
