Dear Community Members , 
 
Could you please provide suggestions how we can minimize or eliminate Table Locking Issues as below or find the root cause of it in Business Central ?

Below Example -  

"We can't save your changes right now, because a record in table 'Gen. Journal Line' is being updated in a transaction done by another session.\r\n\r\nYou'll have to wait until the other transaction has completed, which may take a while. Please try again later"
 

"We can't save your changes right now, because a record in table 'Cust. Ledger Entry' is being updated in a transaction done by another session.\r\n\r\nYou'll have to wait until the other transaction has completed, which may take a while. Please try again later"

Thanks in Advance.

    Hello, 
     
    There is not a lot of help for this 'issue'.
    As it said, your tables being locked due to another transaction, and while that transaction is running you cannot start other posting.
     
    Read this post by Yun and you'll have better picture about database locks.
