  The SAP error message LTR2_UI_SL029 indicates that a specific document or entry is locked, and as a result, only text lines can be deleted. This typically occurs in the context of SAP Logistics or when working with documents that have been locked for editing due to various reasons.
  Cause:
  
  Document Locking: The document or entry you are trying to modify is currently locked by another user or process. This can happen if another user is editing the document or if a previous session did not close properly.
  Transaction State: The document may be in a state that does not allow for certain modifications, such as being in a review or approval process.
  User Permissions: The user may not have the necessary permissions to delete certain types of lines or entries in the document.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Document Lock:
  
  Use transaction code SM12 to check for locks on the document. You can see which user or process is holding the lock and take appropriate action (e.g., contacting the user to release the lock).
  
  
  
  Wait for Release:
  
  If the document is locked by another user, you may need to wait until they finish their work and release the lock.
  
  
  
  Review Document State:
  
  Ensure that the document is not in a state that restricts modifications. If it is in a review or approval state, you may need to follow the appropriate workflow to unlock it.
  
  
  
  User Permissions:
  
  Verify that you have the necessary permissions to delete the lines you are trying to modify. If not, contact your SAP administrator to adjust your permissions.
  
  
  
  Delete Text Lines:
  
  If you only need to delete text lines, you can proceed with that action as the error message suggests that text lines can still be deleted.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
