  Check Active Sessions: Use transaction codes like SM04 (User Overview) or SM12 (Lock Entries) to check if there are any active sessions or locks on the function. You can identify the user or process that is holding the lock.
  Release Locks: If you have the necessary authorizations, you can manually release locks using transaction SM12. However, be cautious when doing this, as it may lead to data inconsistencies if the other user is still processing.
