What causes this issue?

A lock requested by calling an ENQUEUE function module cannot be set up
because another SAP transaction is using the lock in question.
Technical Information: The C_ENQUEUE routine returned the following
values:
COLLISION_OBJECT = &V2&
COLLISION_UNAME = &V1&

System Response

The ENQUEUE function module triggers an appropriate exception. If this
exception was not intercepted by the application program, this leads
automatically to the active SAP transaction being cancelled.

How to fix this error?

Look in the lock table to establish which user or transaction is using
the requested lock (<LS>Tools -> Administration -> Monitor -> Lock
entries</>). You may need to contact the user in question.
