  System Configuration: Certain configurations in the SAP system may lead to documents being locked for longer than necessary.
  
  Solutions:

  Verify if another user is currently working on the document. If so, wait for them to finish or coordinate with them to close the document.
  
  
  
  Close Stale Sessions:
  
  If you suspect that a session is still open but not actively being used, you can try to close it. This can often be done by logging out of the SAP system or using transaction codes like SM04 (User Overview) to see active sessions and terminate them if necessary.
  
  
  
  Use Transaction Codes:
  
  Use transaction code SM12 to check for and delete any locks on the document. This should be done with caution, as it may affect other users.
  
  
  
  Restart the Application:
  
  Sometimes, simply restarting the application or logging out and back in can resolve temporary issues.
  
  
  
  Contact SAP Support:
