  Another user is currently processing the same payment order.
  A background job is running that is using the payment order.
  The payment order is in a state that requires it to be locked (e.g., being edited or processed).
  
  
  
  Incomplete Processing: The payment order may not have been completed in a previous transaction, leaving it in a locked state.

  Check for Incomplete Documents: If the payment order is incomplete, you may need to complete or reverse the previous transaction that left it in a locked state.
