  Cause:

  Identify the Locking User/Process:
  
  Use transaction code SM12 to view the list of locks in the system. You can check which user or process is holding the lock on the object.
  If you have the necessary authorizations, you can release the lock from this transaction. However, be cautious when doing this, as it may disrupt the work of the user holding the lock.
  
  
  Check for Long-running Transactions: Use transaction code SM66 (Global Work Process Overview) to identify any long-running processes that may be holding locks.
  Review Application Logic: If this error occurs frequently, it may be worth reviewing the application logic to ensure that locks are being managed properly and released when no longer needed.
  Consult with Basis Team: If the issue persists or if you are unsure about releasing locks, consult with your SAP Basis team for assistance.
