• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CM_EHFND_COMN075 - Object cannot be modified, since locked by &1 ?

  The SAP error message CM_EHFND_COMN075 indicates that an object cannot be modified because it is currently locked by another user or process. This is a common issue in SAP systems, especially in environments where multiple users are working on the same objects or data.
  Cause:
  
  User Lock: Another user is currently editing or has locked the object you are trying to modify.
  System Lock: The system may have a lock on the object due to a transaction that is still in progress or has not been completed.
  Background Jobs: A background job may be running that is using the object, preventing any modifications.
  Transport Requests: If the object is part of a transport request, it may be locked until the transport is completed.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Lock Entries:
  
  Use transaction code SM12 to check for lock entries. You can see which user or process is holding the lock on the object.
  If you find that the lock is held by a user who is no longer working on it, you may need to contact that user to release the lock or, if necessary, you can delete the lock entry (be cautious with this approach).
  
  
  
  Wait and Retry:
  
  If the lock is temporary (e.g., due to a user editing the object), you may simply need to wait until the user completes their work and releases the lock.
  
  
  
  Check Background Jobs:
  
  Use transaction code SM37 to check if there are any background jobs that might be using the object. If you find any, you may need to wait for them to complete or contact the job owner.
  
  
  
  Transport Management:
  
  If the object is part of a transport request, ensure that the transport is completed and that the object is not locked due to transport activities.
  
  
  
  Contact SAP Basis Team:
  
  If you are unable to resolve the issue, it may be necessary to involve your SAP Basis team to investigate further, especially if the lock appears to be persistent or if it is affecting multiple users.
