  The SAP error message /PRA/CHECK_INPUT222 Locking failure in Check & for Remitter &. In use by & typically indicates that there is a locking issue related to a specific check or remitter in the SAP system. This error occurs when a particular check or remitter is being accessed or modified by another user or process, preventing your transaction from proceeding.
  Causes:
  
  Concurrent Access: Another user or process is currently using the check or remitter, leading to a locking situation.
  Long-running Transactions: A transaction that takes a long time to complete may hold a lock on the check or remitter, causing subsequent attempts to access it to fail.
  System Configuration: There may be configuration settings that are causing locks to be held longer than necessary.
  Database Locks: Locks at the database level can also lead to this error if the underlying database is managing locks in a way that conflicts with your transaction.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Wait and Retry: If the error is due to another user accessing the check or remitter, waiting for a short period and then retrying the transaction may resolve the issue.
  Identify Locking User: Use transaction codes like SM12 (for lock entries) to identify which user or process is holding the lock. You can then coordinate with that user to resolve the conflict.
  Check for Long-running Transactions: Use transaction codes like SM66 (global work process overview) to identify any long-running transactions that may be holding locks.
  System Configuration Review: Review the configuration settings related to locking mechanisms in your SAP system to ensure they are optimized for your business processes.
  Database Administration: If the issue persists, consult with your database administrator to check for any database-level locks that may be affecting the SAP application.
