    2. Wait for Processing: If another user or process is currently working on the bonus-malus, wait for that process to complete before attempting to make changes again.
    3. Review Lock Entries: Use transaction codes like SM12 to check for lock entries related to the contract and bonus-malus. If you find any unnecessary locks, you may need to delete them (with caution and proper authorization).
