  SAP Error Message:
  WGDS_CC_2012022
  
  Text: Errors of trade item &1 of catalog &2 valid from &3 locked by user &4
  
  Meaning / Cause:
  This error occurs when you try to edit or process a trade item (product) in a catalog that is currently locked by another user. The system prevents simultaneous changes to ensure data consistency and avoid conflicts.
  
  Trade item &1: The specific product or trade item number.
  Catalog &2: The catalog in which the trade item exists.
  Valid from &3: The validity start date of the catalog version.
  Locked by user &4: The SAP user who currently has the catalog or trade item locked.
  
  The lock is typically set when a user opens the catalog or trade item for editing, and it remains until the user saves or cancels their changes or the session times out.
  
  Cause Summary:
  
  The trade item in the catalog is locked by another user.
  The lock prevents concurrent editing to avoid data inconsistencies.
  The lock might remain if the user did not properly exit or save their changes.
  
  
  Solution / How to Resolve:
  
  
  Check who locked the item:
  
  Identify the user (&4) who currently holds the lock.
  Contact that user to check if they are still working on the catalog or trade item.
  
  
  
  Wait or ask the user to release the lock:
  
  The user should save and exit the transaction to release the lock.
  If the user is not available or the lock is stale (e.g., due to a session timeout or crash), proceed to the next step.
  
  
  
  Unlock the catalog/trade item manually (if necessary):
  
  Use transaction SM12 (Lock Entries) to find and delete the lock entry.
  Search for lock entries related to the catalog or trade item.
  Delete the lock entry carefully, ensuring no one else is working on it.
  
  
  
  Retry the operation:
  
  After the lock is released, try to edit or process the trade item again.
  
  
  
  
  Additional Information:
  
  Lock Mechanism: SAP uses enqueue locks to prevent simultaneous changes to the same data object.
  Transaction SM12: This transaction shows all current lock entries. You can filter by user, object, or transaction.
  Best Practice: Always ensure users properly save and exit catalog editing to avoid stale locks.
  Catalog Versioning: The validity date (&3) indicates the catalog version. Locks are version-specific.
  Related Transactions:  
  
  WGD1 / WGD2 / WGD3: Catalog maintenance transactions.
