  Wait for Other Users: If another user is editing the limit type, you may need to wait until they finish and release the lock.

  Consult with Colleagues: If you are unsure who is editing the limit type, consult with your colleagues or team members to identify if someone else is working on it.
  System Administrator: If the issue persists and you cannot identify the cause, contact your SAP system administrator for assistance. They may need to unlock the limit type or investigate further.
