This error typically arises in the context of the Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable (FI-CA) module, where business partners are used to manage customer and vendor data.

  The business partner is being used in an active transaction.
  There are open items or pending processes associated with the business partner.
  The business partner is locked for editing or deletion due to configuration settings or user permissions.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Lock Status:
