  The SAP error message W_DSD_01158 indicates that a purchasing info record could not be inserted because it is currently locked. This typically occurs in the context of the SAP system when multiple users or processes are trying to access or modify the same purchasing info record simultaneously.
  Cause:
  
  
  Record Locking: The purchasing info record is locked by another user or process. This can happen if:
  
  Another user is currently editing the record.
  A background job is processing the record.
  The record was not properly released after a previous transaction.
  
  
  
  Transaction Issues: If a transaction was interrupted (e.g., due to a system crash or network issue), it might leave the record in a locked state.
  
  
  Database Locking: Sometimes, database-level locks can occur due to long-running transactions or deadlocks.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Wait and Retry: If the lock is temporary, waiting for a few moments and then retrying the operation may resolve the issue.
  
  
  Identify the Lock:
  
  Use transaction SM12 to check for locks. You can see which user or process is holding the lock on the purchasing info record.
  If you have the necessary authorizations, you can delete the lock entry if it is safe to do so (ensure that the other user is not actively working on it).
  
  
  
  Check Background Jobs: Use transaction SM37 to check if there are any background jobs that might be holding the lock. If you find a job that is causing the lock, you may need to wait for it to complete or contact the job owner.
  
  
  Review Transaction Logs: If the issue persists, review transaction logs to identify any issues that may have caused the lock.
  
  
  Contact SAP Support: If you are unable to resolve the issue, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or SAP directly for assistance.
