  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/OM114 &1 is locked, no change can be applied to the document typically occurs in the context of SAP Transportation Management (TM). This error indicates that the document you are trying to modify is currently locked, preventing any changes from being made.
  Cause:
  
  
  Document Locking: The document (e.g., a transportation order, shipment, etc.) is locked by another user or process. This can happen if:
  
  Another user is currently editing the document.
  A background job is processing the document.
  The document is in a status that does not allow changes (e.g., completed or archived).
  
  
  
  Transaction Errors: Sometimes, if a transaction is not completed properly, it may leave the document in a locked state.
  
  
  System Configuration: Certain configurations in the system may lead to documents being locked under specific conditions.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Document Status: Verify the status of the document. If it is in a status that does not allow changes, you may need to change its status or wait until it is released.
  
  
  Identify Locking User/Process:
  
  Use transaction code SM12 to check for locks in the system. You can filter by the document number or user to see who is holding the lock.
  If you find a lock that should not be there, you can ask the user to release it or, if necessary, you can delete the lock (be cautious with this approach).
  
  
  
  Wait and Retry: If the document is locked by a legitimate process (like a background job), wait for that process to complete and then try again.
  
  
  Check for Background Jobs: Use transaction code SM37 to check if there are any background jobs that might be processing the document. If a job is running, you may need to wait for it to finish.
  
  
  Consult with Basis Team: If you are unable to resolve the issue, it may be necessary to involve your SAP Basis team to investigate further, especially if there are system-level issues causing the locks.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  
  Transaction Codes:
  
  SM12: To view and manage locks.
  SM37: To monitor background jobs.
  
  
  
  Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for Transportation Management for more details on document statuses and locking mechanisms.
  
  
  User Permissions: Ensure that the user has the necessary permissions to edit the document. Sometimes, permission issues can also lead to similar error messages.
  
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might address known issues related to document locking in your version of SAP TM.
  
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the cause of the lock and take appropriate action to resolve the error.
