  The SAP error message KO275, which states "Order & is locked," typically occurs when a user attempts to access or modify a production order or internal order that is currently locked by another user or process.

  Causes of KO275 Error
  
  User Lock: Another user is currently editing or processing the order.
  System Lock: The order may be locked due to a background job or a transaction that is still in progress.

  Check Background Jobs:
