  The SAP error message T0901, which states "Transaction blocked by user &," typically indicates that a specific user has been blocked from executing a particular transaction in the SAP system. This can occur for various reasons, including security policies, user roles, or specific transaction restrictions set by system administrators.
  Causes:
  
  User Locking: The user may have been locked by an administrator due to security concerns or policy violations.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to execute the transaction.
