  Solution:
  
  Check for Concurrent Users: Ensure that no other users are trying to make changes to the same material or cost object at the same time. You may need to coordinate with your team to avoid simultaneous updates.
  Review Batch Jobs: If there are batch jobs running, check their schedules and ensure they are not conflicting with manual changes being made.
  Reprocess the Transaction: After ensuring that no other changes are being made, try to reprocess the transaction that generated the error.
