  The SAP error message 26085, which states "Document & locked by & (object link not possible now)," typically occurs when you attempt to link a document (such as a purchase order, invoice, or other business document) that is currently locked by another user or process. This locking mechanism is a part of SAP's concurrency control to ensure data integrity and prevent conflicts when multiple users are accessing or modifying the same document.

  Document Locking: The document you are trying to access is locked by another user or process. This can happen if the document is being edited or processed by someone else.
  Long-running Transactions: If a transaction takes a long time to complete, it may hold the lock for an extended period, preventing others from accessing the document.
  Background Jobs: Sometimes, background jobs that are processing documents can also lock them temporarily.
  System Issues: Occasionally, system issues or bugs can lead to improper locking
