  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/TRQ115 Document cannot be locked typically occurs in the context of SAP Transportation Management (TM) when a user attempts to access or modify a document that is already being processed or locked by another user or transaction. This locking mechanism is in place to prevent data inconsistencies and ensure that only one user can make changes to a document at a time.

  Check Background Jobs: If a background job is locking the document, you may need to wait for it to complete or check its status in transaction SM37.
  System Monitoring: Regularly monitor system performance and transaction durations to identify any long-running processes that may be causing locks.
  Consult Basis Team: If the issue persists, consult your SAP Basis team to investigate any underlying system issues or to check for any configuration settings that may be causing excessive locking.
