  The SAP error message /BEV4/PLPEND213 indicates that the system is unable to lock the table /BEV4/PLDANFABS for a specific sales organization (VKORG). This typically occurs in the context of the SAP IS-Oil module, particularly when dealing with pricing or contract management.
  Cause:
  
  Concurrent Access: The most common cause of this error is that another user or process is currently accessing the table /BEV4/PLDANFABS, preventing your transaction from obtaining a lock.
  Long-running Transactions: If a transaction is taking too long to complete, it may hold the lock on the table longer than expected.
  Database Lock Issues: There may be issues with the database that are causing locks to not be released properly.
  Configuration Issues: Incorrect configuration or settings in the system can also lead to locking issues.
  
  Solution:
  
  Wait and Retry: If the issue is due to concurrent access, waiting for a few moments and then retrying the operation may resolve the issue.
  Identify Locking Sessions: Use transaction code SM12 to check for existing locks on the table /BEV4/PLDANFABS. You can identify the user or process that is holding the lock and take appropriate action (e.g., contacting the user to release the lock).
  Check for Long-running Transactions: Use transaction code SM66 to monitor active processes in the system. If you find a long-running transaction that is holding the lock, you may need to investigate further or terminate the session if appropriate.
  Database Administration: If the issue persists, it may require intervention from your database administrator to check for any underlying database issues.
  System Configuration Review: Review the configuration settings related to locking mechanisms in your SAP system to ensure they are set up correctly.
