• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message OH002 - &1 &2 is locked by user &3 ?

  The SAP error message "OH002 &1 &2 is locked by user &3" indicates that a particular object (such as a document, transaction, or record) is currently locked by another user. This can happen in various SAP modules when multiple users attempt to access or modify the same object simultaneously.
  Cause:
  
  Concurrent Access: Another user is currently editing or has locked the object you are trying to access.
  Session Timeout: A previous session may not have released the lock due to a timeout or improper logout.

  Identify the Locking User: Use transaction code SM12 to view and manage locks. You can check which user is holding the lock and the object that is locked.
