• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /CPD/PWS_RATECARD004 - Object locked by user &1 ?

  The SAP error message /CPD/PWS_RATECARD004 Object locked by user &1 indicates that a specific object (in this case, a rate card) is currently locked by another user, identified by &1. This locking mechanism is a part of SAP's concurrency control to prevent multiple users from making conflicting changes to the same object simultaneously.
  
  Cause:
  
  User Locking: The object is being edited or accessed by another user, which prevents other users from making changes until the lock is released.
  Session Timeout: Sometimes, a user may have left a session open, causing the object to remain locked even if they are no longer actively working on it.
  System Error: In rare cases, a system error or crash may leave an object in a locked state without a user actively holding the lock.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Wait for Release: If the object is locked by another user, the simplest solution is to wait until that user has finished their work and
