This error indicates that there is an ongoing process or activity that is preventing the system from resetting the status of a particular document or transaction.

  Concurrent Processes: The most common cause of this error is that there are other processes or transactions currently being executed that are locking the document or status you are trying to reset.
  Background Jobs: There may be background jobs running that are related to the document or transaction, which can cause a lock.

  Consult with Basis Team: If the issue persists, it may be necessary to consult with your SAP Basis team to investigate further. They can help identify any underlying issues with the database or system performance.
