  The SAP error message /SCWM/QUI_WRKST089 indicates that an inspection document could not be locked for changes. This typically occurs in the context of the Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module when multiple users or processes attempt to access or modify the same inspection document simultaneously.
  Causes:
  
  Concurrent Access: Another user or process is currently editing or has locked the inspection document.
  System Locking Mechanism: SAP uses a locking mechanism to prevent data inconsistencies. If a document is already locked, any attempt to modify it will result in this error.

  Solutions:
  
  Check for Active Sessions: Verify if another user is currently editing the inspection document. You can use transaction code SM12 to check for locks and see if the document is locked by another user.
  Wait and Retry: If the document is locked by another user, you may need to wait until they finish their changes and release the lock.
  Release Locks: If you find that a lock is held unnecessarily (e.g., due to a session that has crashed), you can manually release the lock using transaction SM12. However, be cautious when doing this, as it may lead to data inconsistencies.
  Check Background Jobs: Sometimes, background jobs may hold locks. Check if there are any running jobs that might be affecting the document.
  Review System Logs: Check the system logs for any errors or warnings that might provide more context about the locking issue.
  Contact SAP Support: If the issue persists and you cannot identify the cause, it may be necessary to contact SAP support for further assistance.
