  The SAP error message TK817 indicates that an object (such as a material, vendor, or customer) is marked for deletion and cannot be locked for processing. This typically occurs when an object is in a state that prevents it from being used in certain transactions or processes due to its deletion status.
  Cause:
  The error message TK817 is triggered when:
  
  An object (e.g., material, vendor, customer) is marked for deletion in the system.
