  Communicate with Users: If you are in a multi-user environment, communicate with your team to ensure that no one else is working on the same data at the same time.
  Review Background Jobs: Check if there are any background jobs that might be updating the same data. You can use transaction code SM37 to monitor background jobs.
  Consult with Basis Team: If the issue persists, consult with your SAP Basis team to investigate any underlying issues with the system or database that may be causing the locking behavior.
