This error indicates that the billing document you are trying to access or modify is currently locked or being processed by another user or transaction.
  Cause:
  
  Concurrent Processing: Another user or process is currently working on the same billing document, which locks it for editing.
  Background Job: A background job may be processing the billing document, preventing any changes until the job is completed.

  Consult with Colleagues: If you are in a team environment, check with your colleagues to see if someone else is working on the same document.
