  The SAP error message MC352, which states "Lock object & is not active," typically occurs when there is an issue with the lock object that is required for a particular transaction or process in SAP. Lock objects are used in SAP to manage concurrent access to data, ensuring data integrity when multiple users or processes attempt to access or modify the same data simultaneously.
  Cause:
  
  Inactive Lock Object: The lock object referenced in the error message is not active in the system. This can happen if the lock object has not been generated or activated properly.
