  The SAP error message IX302 indicates that a vendor associated with a specific reservation item is locked. This can occur in various scenarios, typically when there are issues related to vendor master data or when the vendor is being processed in another transaction.
  Cause:
  
  Vendor Lock: The vendor may be locked for various reasons, such as being in the process of being updated or deleted, or due to a manual lock placed by a user.
