EU514 - Details

• The SAP error message EU514 ("You are already editing &1 &2") typically occurs when a user attempts to edit an object (like a document, record, or configuration) that is already being edited by another user or session. This is a common issue in collaborative environments where multiple users may be trying to access the same data simultaneously.
  
  Cause:
  
  Concurrent Editing: Another user is currently editing the same object.
  Session Issues: The user may have multiple sessions open, and one of them is already editing the object.

  Identify the Lock: Use transaction code SM12 to check for locks on the object.
