  The SAP error message /PICM/UI009 Object locked by another user typically indicates that a particular object (such as a document, transaction, or record) is currently being accessed or modified by another user. This locking mechanism is a part of SAP's concurrency control to ensure data integrity and prevent conflicts when multiple users attempt to access the same object simultaneously.
  
  Cause:
  
  Concurrent Access: Another user is currently editing or viewing the same object.
  Session Timeout: A previous session may not have released the lock due to a timeout or an unexpected termination.
  Long-running Transactions: A user may have a long-running transaction that is holding the lock for an extended period.
  Background Jobs: Sometimes, background jobs may also lock objects, preventing other users from accessing them.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Wait and Retry: If the lock is temporary, waiting for the other user to finish their work may resolve the issue. You can try accessing the object again after some time.
