  Release Lock: If you have the necessary authorizations, you can manually delete the lock entry for the business partner. Be cautious with this approach, as it may disrupt the work of the user who has the lock.
  Log Off and Log Back In: Sometimes, simply logging off and back into the system can clear any stale locks.
  Contact Administrator: If the issue persists, it may be necessary to contact your SAP system administrator for assistance. They can investigate further and resolve any underlying issues.
