  The SAP error message DPVMS_UI_MSG067 indicates that the data you are trying to access or modify has been changed by another user or process since you last retrieved it. This is a common issue in systems where multiple users can access and modify the same data concurrently.
  Cause:
  
  Concurrent Modifications: Another user or process has updated the data after you retrieved it but before you attempted to save or process it.
  Session Timeout: Your session may have timed out, and the data has been refreshed on the server side.
  Data Locking: The data might be locked by another transaction, preventing you from making changes.
  
  Solution:
  
  Refresh the Data: The simplest solution is to refresh the data displayed in your session. This can usually be done by clicking a refresh button or navigating away and back to the relevant screen.
  Re-enter Your Changes: After refreshing, you may need to re-enter any changes you were trying to make, as they may have been lost due to the data change.
  Check for Locks: If you suspect that the data is locked, check with your system administrator or use transaction codes like SM12 to see if there are any locks on the data you are trying to access.
  Communicate with Other Users: If you are in a collaborative environment, communicate with other users to understand if they are making changes to the same data.
  Error Handling in Custom Code: If you are developing custom applications or reports, ensure that you have proper error handling to manage this scenario gracefully.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with transaction codes like SM12 (to check for locks), SM21 (to view system logs), and ST22 (to check for dumps) for troubleshooting.
  User Training: Ensure that users are trained on how to handle concurrent data access and the importance of refreshing data before making changes.
