  Wait and Retry: If the requisition is being processed by another user or job, wait for that process to complete and then try again.
  Identify Locking User: Use transaction code SM12 to check for locks on the purchase requisition. This will show you which user or process is holding the lock.
  Contact the User: If you identify a user who is holding the lock, you may need to contact them to understand why the requisition is locked and if they can release it.
