• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SCWN309 - Note &1 locked in request &2 ?

  The SAP error message SCWN309 indicates that a note (in this case, note &1) is locked in a transport request (request &2). This typically occurs when a note is being edited or has been locked by another user or process, preventing you from making changes or transporting it.
  Cause:
  
  Concurrent Access: Another user or process is currently editing or has locked the note.
  Transport Request Status: The transport request may be in a status that does not allow changes (e.g., released).
  System Lock: The note might be locked due to a system error or inconsistency.

  If necessary, a system administrator can manually delete the lock entry in SM12, but this should be done with caution.
  
  
  
  Check Transport Request:
