• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /PLMU/UI_RTG_APP001 - Routing &1 needs to be locked ?

  The SAP error message /PLMU/UI_RTG_APP001 Routing &1 needs to be locked typically indicates that a routing (identified by &1, which is a placeholder for the actual routing number) is currently being accessed or modified by another user or process. This locking mechanism is a standard feature in SAP to prevent data inconsistencies that could arise from concurrent modifications.
