• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMTMS/TEND141 - Road freight order &1 locked in another process ?

  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/TEND141 Road freight order &1 locked in another process typically indicates that the road freight order you are trying to access is currently locked by another user or process. This can happen in various scenarios, such as when another user is editing the order, or if a background job is processing it.
  Cause:
  
  Concurrent Access: Another user or process is currently editing or processing the road freight order.
  Background Jobs: A background job may be running that is locking the order for processing.
  Transaction Errors: If a previous transaction did not complete properly, it might leave the order in a locked state.
  Database Locks: Sometimes, database locks can occur due to long-running transactions or deadlocks.
  
  Solution:
  
  Wait and Retry: If the lock is temporary, waiting for a few moments and then retrying the operation may resolve the issue.
  Identify the Lock: Use transaction codes like SM12 (to view and delete locks) or SM21 (to check the system log) to identify which user or process is holding the lock.
  Contact the User: If you identify the user who is locking the order, you can contact them to see if they can release the lock.
  Release the Lock: If necessary and if you have the appropriate authorizations, you can manually delete the lock using transaction SM12. Be cautious with this approach, as it may disrupt the other user's work.
  Check Background Jobs: Use transaction SM37 to check if there are any background jobs that might be processing the order. If a job is stuck, you may need to terminate it.
  System Restart: In rare cases, a system restart may be required to clear persistent locks, but this should be done with caution and typically as a last resort.
