  The SAP error message GJ855, which states "Non-Operated Billing Number & Is Currently Locked," typically occurs in the context of billing processes within the SAP system, particularly in the Oil & Gas industry module (IS-OIL). This error indicates that the billing number you are trying to access or modify is currently locked, preventing any operations on it.
  Causes:
  
  Concurrent Access: Another user or process is currently accessing or modifying the billing number, which locks it for other users.
  Incomplete Processes: A previous transaction involving the billing number may not have been completed, leaving it in a locked state.
  System Errors: There may be a system error or inconsistency that has caused the billing number to remain locked.
  User Permissions: The user may not have the necessary permissions to access or modify the billing number.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check Lock Entries: Use transaction code SM12 to check for lock entries related to the billing number. You can identify the user or process that is holding the lock.
  Wait and Retry: If another user is working on the billing number, you may need to wait until they complete their transaction and release the lock.
  Unlock Manually: If you determine that the lock is no longer valid (e.g., the user has logged off unexpectedly), you can manually delete the lock entry in SM12. Be cautious with this approach, as it may lead to data inconsistencies if the other process is still running.
  Check for Incomplete Documents: Use transaction code VF02 or VF03 to check if there are any incomplete billing documents associated with the billing number. Complete or delete any incomplete documents as necessary.
  Review User Permissions: Ensure that the user attempting to access the billing number has the appropriate permissions to do so.
