  SAP Error Message: W_CB322 Condition Contract &1 locked
  
  Meaning / Cause:
  The message W_CB322 Condition Contract &1 locked indicates that the condition contract number &1 (where &1 is the actual contract number) is currently locked. This lock prevents any changes or updates to the condition contract.
  Why does this happen?
  
  The condition contract is locked because it is currently being processed or edited by another user or process.
  It could also be locked due to a background job or a system process that has not yet released the lock.
  Sometimes, the lock remains if a previous transaction was not properly ended or if there was a system crash.
  
  
  When does this occur?
  
  When you try to change or update a condition contract that is already locked.
  During mass processing or batch jobs that access the same condition contract.
  When multiple users attempt to access the same contract simultaneously.
  
  
  Solution / How to resolve:
  
  
  Wait and Retry:
  
  Often, the lock is temporary. Wait a few minutes and try again.
  
  
  
  Check for Locked Objects:
  
  Use transaction SM12 (Lock Entries) to check if the condition contract is locked.
  In SM12, enter the user name or the object related to condition contracts (e.g., object KONH or KONV depending on your system) and look for locks on the contract number.
  
  
  
  Release the Lock:
  
  If you find a lock that is no longer valid (e.g., from a user who has logged off or a stuck process), you can delete the lock entry in SM12.
  Caution: Only delete locks if you are sure the process holding the lock is no longer active, as deleting locks improperly can cause data inconsistencies.
  
  
  
  Check Background Jobs:
  
  Verify if any background jobs or batch processes are running that might be locking the contract.
  Wait for these jobs to complete or coordinate with the job owner.
  
  
  
  System Restart / Support:
  
  If locks persist and cannot be cleared, a system restart or support from your Basis team may be required.
  
  
  
  Check for Custom Enhancements:
  
  Sometimes custom code or enhancements might cause locks to remain longer than expected. Review any custom developments related to condition contracts.
