  Wait and Retry: If the lock is temporary (e.g., due to another user), wait for the other process to complete and then retry your operation.
  Release Locks: If you determine that the lock is no longer needed, you can manually release it using transaction SM12, but be cautious as this may affect other users.
  Review Processes: Check if there are any ongoing processes related to the HAWB that need to be completed or canceled.
  User Permissions: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to access and modify the Freight Unit.
