What causes this issue?

The object has been modified from another session despite of the locks
that have been obtained by the current session. This can be caused by
either a database or storage problem (in this case, the "modification"
is probably a loss of data), a problem with the enqueue server (in this
case, the lock has not been obtained or has been obtained by multiple
sessions), or some malicious or erroneous coding (that modifies the
object's data without obtaining a lock).

PAK_WB_FOUNDATION052 - Details

• The SAP error message PAK_WB_FOUNDATION052 indicates that a particular object (like a workbench object) was modified concurrently, even though it was supposed to be locked for editing. This typically occurs in environments where multiple users are trying to access and modify the same object simultaneously, leading to conflicts.
  
  Cause:
  
  Concurrent Access: Multiple users or processes are trying to modify the same object at the same time.
  Locking Mechanism Failure: The locking mechanism in SAP may not have functioned correctly, allowing changes to be made despite the object being locked.
  Network Issues: Temporary network issues may cause the lock status to not be recognized properly.
  Long-running Transactions: If a transaction takes too long, it may lead to a situation where another user can modify the object before the first transaction completes.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Lock Entries: Use transaction code SM12 to check for lock entries related to the object. If you find any stale locks, you can delete them
