  SAP Error Message:
  VR654 Table & is already being processed (&)
  
  Meaning / 
  Cause:
  This error occurs when a process tries to access or update a database table that is currently locked or being processed by another user or session. The message indicates that the table (name given in the first placeholder &) is already locked or in use, and the second placeholder & usually contains information about the user or process holding the lock.

  Another user or background job is currently processing or updating the same table.
  A previous process did not release the lock properly (e.g., due to a crash or incomplete transaction).
  Long-running transactions or batch jobs holding locks for extended periods.
