• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ILM_STOR_CUST063 - Origin &1 is locked by another user for editing, display only ?

  The SAP error message ILM_STOR_CUST063 indicates that a specific object (in this case, an "origin") is currently locked by another user for editing, and therefore, you can only view it in display mode. This is a common issue in SAP systems when multiple users are trying to access the same object simultaneously.
  Cause:
  
  Concurrent Access: Another user is currently editing the object, which causes a lock to be placed on it.
  Session Timeout: Sometimes, a user may have left a session open, causing a lock to persist even if they are no longer actively working on it.
  System Configuration: Certain configurations in the SAP system may lead to more frequent locking scenarios.
  
  Solution:
  
  Wait and Retry: The simplest solution is to wait for the other user to finish their editing session. Once they save their changes and exit, the lock will be released, and you can access the object.
  Check Lock Entries: You can check the lock entries in the SAP system using transaction code SM12. This will show you which user is currently holding the lock. If you have the necessary authorizations, you can also delete the lock entry, but this should be done with caution and preferably after consulting with the user who holds the lock.
  Communicate with the User: If you know who is editing the object, you can reach out to them to see if they can finish their work or release the lock.
  Review System Settings: If this issue occurs frequently, it may be worth reviewing the system settings or user access patterns to minimize locking conflicts.
