  Check Active Sessions: Use transaction codes like SM12 (to check for locks) and SM21 (to check system logs) to identify if there are any active sessions that are holding locks on the organizational measure.
  Terminate Long-running Transactions: If you identify a transaction that is taking too long and holding a lock, you may need to terminate it using transaction SM37 (to monitor jobs) or SM12 (to delete locks).
  Review Configuration: Ensure that the configuration for organizational measures is set up correctly and that there are no inconsistencies.
