What causes this issue?

You want to process a form that is already being processed by another
user.

System Response

You are prevented from doing so by the SAP lock mechanism.

How to fix this error?

You cannot process the form if another user is processing either the
form itself or tables that pertain to the form.
If the ENQUEUE lock is hanging because a session has been cancelled or
because of other serious problems within lock management, and if no
other user is processing the object, you can use transaction SM12 to
delete the lock for this particular object. The system logs this
deletion.
