• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSPLS403 - &1 sequence is locked by another user; only display is possible ?

  The SAP error message RSPLS403 indicates that a sequence (typically a data slice or a query) is locked by another user, which means that the current user cannot modify or execute certain operations on that sequence. This is common in environments where multiple users are accessing and working with the same data simultaneously.
  
  Cause:
  
  Concurrent Access: Another user is currently accessing or modifying the same sequence, which leads to a lock being placed on it.
  Long-Running Transactions: If a user has a long-running transaction that involves the sequence, it can prevent others from making changes.
  System Configuration: Certain configurations in the SAP system may lead to more aggressive locking mechanisms.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Wait for Release: The simplest solution is to wait until the other user has completed their transaction and released the lock.
  Identify the Lock: Use transaction codes like SM12 (for lock entries) to identify which user is holding the lock. You can then communicate with that
