  The SAP error message SKWF_SDOKERRS098 indicates that an object is currently checked out or reserved, which prevents you from performing certain actions on it. This error typically occurs in the context of SAP Document Management System (DMS) or when working with SAP Workflow.
  Cause:
  
  Object Checked Out: The object (like a document or a workflow) is checked out by another user or process, meaning it is locked for editing or modification.
  Object Reserved: The object is reserved for a specific user or process, preventing others from making changes until the reservation is released.

  Check Out Status: Verify if the object is checked out by another user. You can do this by checking the status in the DMS or relevant transaction.
  Release the Object: If you have the necessary permissions, you can release the object from checkout or reservation. This can usually be done through the DMS interface or relevant transaction codes.
  Contact the User: If another user has the object checked out, you may need to contact them to either check it back in or to coordinate access.
  Wait and Retry: If the object is temporarily locked, you may need to wait until the other user has finished their work and checked the object back in.
  Check for System Locks: In some cases, system-level locks may be causing the issue. You can check transaction codes like SM12 (for lock entries) to see if there are any locks on the object.
