  The SAP error message CRM_ICM_DOC014, which states "Document checked out by user &1," typically occurs in the context of SAP CRM (Customer Relationship Management) when a document is being accessed or modified by another user. This message indicates that the document is currently checked out by a specific user, preventing other users from making changes to it until it is checked back in.
  Cause:

  Check Document Status: Verify who has the document checked out. You can do this by checking the document management system or the relevant transaction in SAP.
  Contact the User: If possible, contact the user who has the document checked out and ask them to check it back in.
  Force Check-In: If the user is unavailable and the document needs to be accessed urgently, an administrator may have the ability to force a check-in of the document. This should be done with caution, as it may lead to loss of unsaved changes made by the user who has it checked out.
  Wait and Retry: If the document is not urgently needed, you can wait until the user checks it back in and then try accessing it again.
  Review Permissions: Ensure that your user role has the necessary permissions to access and modify the document.
