Here’s a breakdown of the cause, potential solutions, and related information:
  Cause:
  
  
  Object Locking: The BRFplus object you are trying to modify may be locked by another user or process. This can happen if someone else is editing the same object or if the object is in a transport request that is currently being processed.
  
  
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to make changes to the BRFplus object. This can be due to role restrictions or missing authorizations in the user's profile.
