• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message EZ323 - Text &2 is locked in language &3 by user &1 ?

  The SAP error message EZ323 indicates that a specific text object (like a text element or a text string) is locked in a particular language by a user. This typically occurs when multiple users are trying to edit the same text object simultaneously, or when a user has opened the text object for editing and has not yet saved or released it.
  Cause:
  
  Concurrent Editing: Another user is currently editing the text in the specified language.
  Unreleased Lock: A user has opened the text for editing but has not saved or released the lock.
  System Issues: Sometimes, system issues or crashes can leave a lock in place.
  
  Solution:
  
  Wait and Retry: If another user is editing the text, you may need to wait until they finish and release the lock.
  Check Lock Entries: You can check the lock entries using transaction code SM12. Look for the user who has locked the text and see if it is still active. If necessary, you can ask the user to release the lock.
  Release Lock: If the user who locked the text is unavailable, and you have the necessary authorizations, you can manually delete the lock entry in SM12. Be cautious with this approach, as it may lead to data loss if the user was in the middle of editing.
  Contact Basis Team: If you suspect that the lock is due to a system issue, contact your SAP Basis team for assistance.
