  A user is trying to edit or process a form that is currently being edited or processed by another user in a different session or transaction.
  The form is locked due to a previous transaction that has not been completed or has not released the lock.
  There may be a system issue or a configuration problem that is causing the form to remain locked.
  
  Solution
  To resolve the TD136 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check for Active Sessions:
  
  Use transaction code SM12 to check for any active locks on the form. Look for entries related to the form name and the language.

  In SM12, you can see which user is holding the lock. If it is a legitimate user, you may need to contact them to release the lock.

  Sometimes, background jobs may hold locks on forms. Use transaction code SM37 to check for any background jobs that might be processing the form.
