  The SAP error message FKKVT021 indicates that a specific process is not allowed for a particular lock object. This error typically occurs in the context of contract accounts receivable and payable (FI-CA) when there is an attempt to perform an operation that is restricted due to locking mechanisms in place to ensure data integrity.
