  The SAP error message /ISDFPS/PM_DIS027 ERROR: Cannot lock object &1/&2 typically occurs in the context of the SAP Discrete Industries and Manufacturing (DIS) module, particularly when dealing with production orders, maintenance orders, or similar objects. This error indicates that the system is unable to lock a specific object, which is necessary for performing certain operations.
  Causes:

  Long-running Transactions: A transaction that is taking too long to complete may hold the lock longer than expected.
