This typically occurs in the context of SAP Master Data Governance (MDG) when trying to make changes to master data that is currently locked or blocked by an ongoing change request.
  Cause:
  
  Change Request Locking: The entity you are trying to modify is currently being processed in a change request that has not yet been completed or released. This means that the system is preventing any changes to that entity until the change request is either completed or released.
  Concurrent Access: Another user or process may be working on the same entity, causing it to be locked for changes.
  Workflow Status: The change request may be in a status that does not allow further modifications.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Change Request Status: 
  
  Go to the change request management area in SAP and check the status of the change request identified by &3. If it is still in progress, you may need to wait until it is completed or released.
  
  
  
  Release or Complete the Change Request: 
  
  If you have the necessary permissions, you can complete or release the change request to unlock the entity. This may involve approving or rejecting changes made in the request.
  
  
  
  Identify the User/Process: 
  
  If another user is working on the same entity, you may need to coordinate with them to either complete their changes or to have them release the lock.
  
  
  
  Use Transaction Codes: 
  
  You can use transaction codes like SWI1 (Work Item Selection) to find out if there are any work items related to the change request that are still open.
