  The SAP error message CMM_MEV_GEN_COM005 indicates that a delivery note (identified by the number &1) is currently being processed by another user (identified by user &2). This typically occurs in scenarios where multiple users are trying to access or modify the same delivery note simultaneously, leading to a lock situation.
  Cause:
  
  Concurrent Access: Another user is currently editing or processing the same delivery note, which causes a lock on that document.
  Session Timeout: If a user has left a session open for an extended period, it may still hold a lock on the delivery note.
  System Configuration: The system may be configured to prevent multiple users from editing the same document at the same time.
  
  Solution:
  
  Wait and Retry: The simplest solution is to wait for the other user to finish processing the delivery note. Once they are done, you should be able to access it.
  Check Lock Entries: You can check the lock entries in the system using transaction code SM12. This will show you which user is currently holding the lock on the delivery note. If necessary, you can contact that user to coordinate access.
  Contact the User: If you know who the other user is, you can reach out to them to see if they can release the lock or if they are done with their processing.
  System Administrator: If the lock persists and you cannot identify the user, you may need to contact your SAP system administrator. They can help release the lock if it is no longer valid or if the user is no longer active.
  Review Configuration: If this issue occurs frequently, it may be worth reviewing the system configuration regarding document locking and concurrent access policies.
