  Identify the Locking User: Check who is currently locking the entity. This can often be done through system logs or monitoring tools within SAP.

  Check Background Jobs: If a background job is causing the lock, monitor its progress and wait for it to complete.
  Session Management: Ensure that all sessions are properly closed and that there are no lingering locks from previous sessions.
