  The SAP error message MSR_REPLACEMENT114 indicates that a specific item in a replacement purchase order (PO) is locked by a user. This typically occurs when another user is currently editing or processing the same item in the system, preventing you from making changes or updates.
  Cause:
  
  User Lock: The item in the replacement PO is being accessed or modified by another user, which causes a lock on that item.
  Transaction in Progress: A transaction related to the item is still in progress, and the system prevents concurrent modifications to maintain data integrity.
