  The SAP error message RFM_ST_PICK_REQ013 indicates that a store picking request (in this case, identified by the number &1) is currently being processed by another user or transaction (identified by &2). This typically occurs in scenarios where multiple users or processes are trying to access or modify the same picking request simultaneously, leading to a lock situation.
  Cause:
  
  Concurrent Access: Another user or process is currently processing the same picking request, which causes a lock on that request.
  Long Processing Time: The other transaction may be taking longer than expected, leading to a delay in releasing the lock.
  System Configuration: The system may be configured to prevent multiple accesses to the same picking request to maintain data integrity.
  
  Solution:
  
  Wait and Retry: The simplest solution is to wait for the other user or process to complete their transaction. After a short period, try to access the picking request again.
  Identify the Locking User: If you have the necessary permissions, you can use transaction codes like SM12 (to view and manage locks) to identify the user or process that is holding the lock on the picking request. You can then communicate with that user to understand the situation.
  Check for Long-Running Transactions: If the locking process is taking too long, investigate why it is taking longer than expected. It may be due to performance issues or errors in the processing logic.
  System Administration: If the issue persists, it may require intervention from a system administrator to release the lock or to investigate any underlying issues with the system configuration or performance.
  
  Related Information:
