This error can occur for several reasons, and understanding the cause is essential for resolving it.
  Cause:
  
  Transaction Locking: The transaction may be locked due to another user currently accessing it. SAP locks transactions to prevent data inconsistencies when multiple users attempt to modify the same data simultaneously.
  Session Timeout: If a user has left the transaction open for an extended period, it may have timed out, leading to a lock.

  Wait and Retry: If the lock is held by another user, you may need to wait until they complete their transaction and release the lock.
  Contact the User: If you identify the user holding the lock, you can contact them to see if they can complete their transaction or log off.
  System Administration: If the lock persists and you cannot resolve it, you may need to involve your SAP Basis team or system administrator to investigate further. They can check for any underlying issues causing the lock.
