  The SAP error message /SAPCE/FKUA_MES000 Header of Invoice is locked by user &1. Display mode only. indicates that the invoice you are trying to access is currently locked by another user. This typically happens when another user is editing or processing the invoice, preventing you from making changes.
  Cause:
  
  User Lock: Another user is currently editing the invoice, which locks the header for other users.

  Solution:

  Check Lock Entries: You can check the lock entries in the system using transaction code SM12. This will allow you to see which user has locked the invoice. If necessary, you can ask the user to release the lock.
  Release Lock Manually: If you have the necessary authorizations, you can manually delete the lock entry in SM12. However, this should be done with caution and typically only if you are sure that the other user is not actively working on the invoice.
  Use Display Mode: If you only need to view the invoice and do not need to make changes, you can continue in display mode until the lock is released.
