This typically occurs in scenarios where multiple users are accessing and modifying the same data simultaneously, leading to a version conflict.

  Data Locking: The system may have locked the data for editing by another user or process.
  
  Solution:

  Reapply Your Changes: After refreshing, reapply your changes to the most recent version of the data.
  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.

  Error Handling: Implement error handling in your processes to manage such conflicts gracefully, possibly by notifying users when their changes cannot be saved.
