  Identify Locking User/Process: Use transaction code SM12 to check for locks on the quotation. This will show you which user or process is holding the lock.
  Release Lock: If you have the necessary permissions and it is safe to do so, you can manually release the lock from transaction SM12. Be cautious with this step to avoid data inconsistencies.
  Retry the Operation: After confirming that the quotation is no longer locked, retry the operation that triggered the error.
  Consult with IT Support: If the issue persists, it may be necessary to consult with your IT support team or SAP Basis team to investigate further, especially if there are systemic issues causing frequent locking.
