  The SAP error message CO624 indicates that a lock has been set on a work center in a specific plant. This typically occurs when a work center is being edited or is in use by another user or process, preventing other users from making changes to it.
  Cause:
  
  Concurrent Access: Another user or process is currently accessing or modifying the work center.
