PIQAGM023 - Details

• The SAP error message PIQAGM023 indicates that a transfer regulation (likely related to the SAP Student Lifecycle Management or a similar module) cannot be changed because it is currently locked by another user or process. This locking mechanism is in place to prevent data inconsistencies that could arise from simultaneous modifications.
  
  Cause:
  
  User Lock: Another user is currently editing the transfer regulation.
  System Lock: The system may have a lock due to a background job or a transaction that is still processing.

  Identify the user who has locked the transfer regulation. You can use transaction code SM12 to view and manage user locks.
  If the user is no longer working on the transaction, you can delete the lock entry (if you have the necessary authorizations).
