• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message S_AUT027 - Table &1 locked by user &2 (Start in display mode) ?

  The SAP error message S_AUT027 indicates that a specific table (denoted as &1) is currently locked by a user (denoted as &2), and as a result, you are only able to access it in display mode. This typically occurs when a user is editing or modifying data in the table, preventing other users from making changes until the lock is released.
  
  Cause:
  
  User Lock: A user is currently editing the table, which places a lock on it to prevent concurrent modifications that could lead to data inconsistencies.
  Long Transactions: If a user has a long-running transaction or has not properly saved and exited the transaction, the lock may persist longer than necessary.
  System Configuration: Certain configurations in the SAP system may lead to more frequent locking scenarios, especially in high-transaction environments.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Wait for Release: The simplest solution is to wait until the user who has locked the table completes their transaction and releases the lock.
