IL098 - Details

• The SAP error message IL098 indicates that a user is currently editing a functional location, and another user is attempting to access or edit the same functional location simultaneously. This is a common issue in SAP systems where multiple users may need to work on the same data.
  
  Cause:
  
  The primary cause of this error is that the functional location (in this case, &2) is locked by another user (indicated by &1) who is currently editing it. SAP locks certain objects to prevent data inconsistencies that can arise from concurrent modifications.
