  Check Background Jobs: Use transaction SM37 to check if there are any background jobs that might be affecting the document. If necessary, you can wait for these jobs to complete.
  System Performance: If the system is slow or unresponsive, it may be worth checking with your IT department or SAP Basis team to see if there are any performance issues that need to be addressed.
