  The SAP error message /PM0/ABB_MESSAGES148 typically indicates that there is an issue with changing a policy option while it is currently being processed by another user. This is a common scenario in systems where multiple users may be trying to access or modify the same data simultaneously.
  Cause:
  
  Concurrent Access: The policy you are trying to change is currently locked by another user who is processing it. This can happen in environments where multiple users are working on similar tasks.
  Session Lock: The system may have a session lock on the policy due to ongoing transactions or processes that have not yet been completed.
  User Permissions: There may be restrictions based on user roles or permissions that prevent changes to the policy while it is being processed.
  
  Solution:
  
  Wait and Retry: The simplest solution is to wait for the other user to complete their processing of the policy. Once they are done, you should be able to make your changes.
  Check User Activity: If you have the necessary permissions, you can check which user is currently processing the policy. This can often be done through transaction codes like SM12 (to view locks) or SM21 (to view system logs).
  Contact the User: If possible, reach out to the user who is currently processing the policy to see if they can complete their task or release the lock.
  System Administrator: If the issue persists and you cannot identify the user or if the lock seems to be stuck, contact your system administrator. They may need to intervene to release the lock or investigate further.
  Review Configuration: Ensure that the system configuration allows for appropriate handling of concurrent processes, and consider implementing better locking mechanisms if necessary.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with transaction codes like SM12 for lock entries, SM21 for system logs, and SU01 for user management.
  User Roles: Review user roles and permissions to ensure that they are set up correctly for the tasks being performed.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to this error message, as there may be updates or fixes available.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the error and proceed with your changes to the policy.
