• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DGA301 - Data record &1, &2, &3 not saved (locked) ?

  The SAP error message DGA301 indicates that a data record you are trying to save is locked, which prevents the operation from being completed. This typically occurs in scenarios where multiple users or processes are trying to access or modify the same data record simultaneously.
  
  Cause:
  
  
  Record Locking: The data record is currently locked by another user or process. This can happen if:
  
  Another user is editing the same record.
  A background job or process is currently using the record.
  The record was not properly released after a previous operation.
  
  
  
  Transaction Issues: If a transaction is not completed correctly, it may leave the record in a locked state.
  
  
  Database Locking: Sometimes, database-level locks can occur due to long-running transactions or deadlocks.
  
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Wait and Retry: If the lock is temporary (e.g., another user is editing the record), wait for a few moments and then try to save again.
  
  
  Check Lock Entries: Use transaction code SM12 to check for lock entries.
