• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /IWBEP/COS_SUTIL206 - Manually locked ?

  The SAP error message /IWBEP/COS_SUTIL206 Manually locked typically occurs in the context of SAP Gateway or OData services when a resource or entity is locked for manual processing. This can happen for various reasons, such as a user manually locking a resource to prevent changes or updates while they are being processed.
  Cause:
  
  Manual Locking: A user or process has manually locked the resource, preventing other processes from accessing or modifying it.
  Transaction in Progress: A transaction that involves the resource is currently in progress, leading to a temporary lock.
  System Configuration: Certain configurations or settings in the SAP system may lead to resources being locked under specific conditions.
  
  Solution:
  
  Identify the Lock: Use transaction code SM12 to check for locks in the system. You can filter by user or object to find the specific lock causing the issue.
  Release the Lock: If you have the necessary authorizations, you can manually release the lock from the SM12 transaction. Be cautious when doing this, as releasing locks can lead to data inconsistencies if the transaction is still in progress.
  Check for Active Transactions: Ensure that there are no active transactions that are holding the lock. If a transaction is stuck, you may need to resolve that issue first.
  Review User Actions: If the lock was placed by a user, communicate with them to understand why the lock was placed and if it can be released.
