  The SAP error message NSDM_MIG_CONTROL022 indicates that the MKPF group (which is related to the document header for accounting documents) cannot be unlocked. This typically occurs during data migration or when trying to perform certain operations on financial documents in the SAP system.
  Cause:
  
  Locked Document: The document or group of documents in the MKPF table is currently locked by another process or user. This can happen if another transaction is being processed that involves the same document.

  Check Locks: Use transaction code SM12 to check for any locks on the MKPF documents. If you find any locks that are not needed, you can remove them (if you have the necessary authorizations).
  Wait for Processes to Complete: If the document is locked due to another process, you may need to wait for that process to complete before attempting to unlock the document again.
