  The SAP error message AQV011 indicates that additional function maintenance is locked by a user or process. This typically occurs when a user is trying to access or modify a function that is currently being edited or is in use by another user. Here’s a breakdown of the cause, potential solutions, and related information:
  Cause:
  
  User Lock: Another user is currently editing the same function or has it locked for maintenance.
  System Lock: The system may have a lock due to a transaction that is not yet completed or has been interrupted.
  Transport Request: If the function is part of a transport request, it may be locked until the transport is released or completed.
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Lock Entries:
  
  Use transaction code SM12 to check for lock entries. You can filter by the user ID mentioned in the error message to see if there are any active locks.
  If you find a lock that is no longer needed, you can delete it (if you have the necessary authorizations).
  
  
  
  Wait and Retry:
  
  If another user is working on the function, it may be best to wait until they finish and then try again.

  System Restart:
  
  In rare cases, if the lock persists and cannot be resolved, a system restart may be necessary. This should be done with caution and typically requires coordination with your Basis team.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
