exception is not trapped by the application program, it causes the
current SAP transaction to be terminated automatically.

Check the lock table to determine which user or which transaction is

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 6A090 - Object & is currently blocked by user & ?

  The SAP error message "6A090 Object & is currently blocked by user &" indicates that a specific object (such as a document, transaction, or data record) is currently locked or blocked by another user. This typically occurs in scenarios where multiple users are trying to access or modify the same object simultaneously, leading to a conflict.
  Cause:
  
  Concurrent Access: Another user is currently editing or processing the object, which prevents other users from making changes until the lock is released.
  Long-running Transactions: A transaction that takes a long time to complete may hold a lock on the object for an extended period.
  Uncommitted Changes: If a user has made changes to the object but has not yet saved or committed those changes, the object remains locked.
  System Errors: Occasionally, system errors or crashes can leave objects in a locked state.
  
  Solution:
  
  Wait and Retry: The simplest solution is to wait for the other user to finish their work and release the lock. You can periodically check if the object is still locked.
  Identify the Lock: Use transaction code SM12 to view the list of locks in the system. You can identify which user is holding the lock on the object.
  Contact the User: If you can identify the user holding the lock, you may want to contact them to see if they can release the lock or complete their transaction.
  Release the Lock: If necessary and if you have the appropriate authorizations, you can manually release the lock using transaction code SM12. However, this should be done with caution, as it may lead to data inconsistencies if the other user is still working on the object.
  Check for Background Jobs: Sometimes, background jobs may hold locks on objects. You can check transaction SM37 to see if any background jobs are running that might be causing the lock.
  Review System Performance: If locks are a frequent issue, it may be worth reviewing system performance and user access patterns to identify potential improvements.
