• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PU622 - Request &1 is already locked against changes by &2 ?

  The SAP error message PU622 indicates that a particular request (denoted by &1) is currently locked against changes by another user or process (denoted by &2). This typically occurs in the context of transport requests or change requests in the SAP system, where multiple users may be trying to modify the same object or request simultaneously.
  Cause:
  
  Concurrent Access: Another user or process is currently editing or has locked the transport request.
  Incomplete Release: The request may not have been properly released or may still be in a state that prevents changes.
  System Locking Mechanism: SAP uses a locking mechanism to prevent data inconsistencies, and this error indicates that the request is locked for changes.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Lock Entries: Use transaction code SM12 to check for lock entries. You can look for the user or process that is holding the lock on the request.
  Wait for Release: If another user is working on the request, you may need to wait until they finish and release the lock.
  Contact the User: If you identify the user holding the lock, you can communicate with them to see if they can release the request.
  Delete Lock Entry: If you determine that the lock is no longer valid (e.g., the user has logged off unexpectedly), you can delete the lock entry in SM12. However, this should be done with caution and typically requires appropriate authorizations.
  Check Transport Organizer: Ensure that the transport request is in the correct state and that there are no issues with the transport organizer.
