What causes this issue?

To prevent users from working on the same object at the same time,
objects are blocked automatically so that only one user has exlusive
access to the object he/she is currently working on. For example, only
one user can work on a particular material. The material concerned is
blocked for all other users.
Currently, this blocking mechanism is not working. The result is that
no tasks effecting changes in data are possible at this time.
