• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PSHLP_MSG_CL134 - Object locked; simulation version of this object (or subobjects) exists ?

  The SAP error message PSHLP_MSG_CL134 indicates that an object is locked because a simulation version of that object (or its subobjects) already exists. This typically occurs in the context of project management or planning scenarios where simulations are used to analyze potential changes without affecting the actual data.
  
  Cause:
  
  Existing Simulation Version: The primary cause of this error is that a simulation version of the object you are trying to modify or delete is already present in the system. This prevents any changes to the original object until the simulation is resolved.
  Locking Mechanism: SAP uses a locking mechanism to ensure data integrity. If a simulation is active, the system locks the original object to prevent conflicting changes.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check for Existing Simulations:
  
  Navigate to the relevant transaction or application where the object is being used.
  Look for any existing simulation versions of the object. This may involve
