  Wait and Retry: If the notification is being processed by another user, wait for a few moments and then try to access it again.
  Check Locks: Use transaction code SM12 to check for any locks on the notification. If you find a lock that is no longer valid (e.g., a user session that has ended), you may need to delete the lock entry.
