  The SAP error message CRM_ICM_DOC017, which states "Document checked in by other user," typically occurs in the context of SAP CRM (Customer Relationship Management) when a user attempts to edit or check out a document that is currently checked in by another user.

  Check Document Status: Verify who has the document checked out. You may need to contact the user who has it checked in to request them to check it back in or release the lock.
  Release Lock: If the user who has the document checked in is unavailable, a system administrator may be able to release the lock on the document.
  Session Management: Ensure that users are properly logging out of their sessions to avoid leaving documents checked in unintentionally.
  Permissions Review: Check the user’s permissions to ensure they have the rights to check out and edit the document.
