  Error Message
  WSPT037: Delivery &1 is locked
  
  &1 is a placeholder for the delivery document number.
  
  
  Cause
  This error occurs because the delivery document you are trying to process is currently locked by another user or process. SAP locks documents to prevent simultaneous changes that could lead to data inconsistencies.
  Common reasons for the lock include:
  
  Another user is currently editing or processing the delivery.
  A background job or process is running that has locked the delivery.
  A previous transaction did not release the lock properly due to an error or system crash.
  The delivery is in a status that prevents changes (e.g., being processed in warehouse management or transportation).
  
  
  Solution
  To resolve the issue, you can try the following steps:
  
  
  Check who holds the lock:
  
  Use transaction SM12 (Lock Entries) to find the lock on the delivery document.
  Enter the delivery document number or relevant object to filter the locks.
  Identify the user or process holding the lock.
  
  
  
  Contact the user/process:
  
  If the lock is held by another user, ask them to finish their work and exit the transaction to release the lock.
  If the lock is held by a background job, wait for the job to complete.
  
  
  
  Manually delete the lock (with caution):
  
  If the lock is stale (e.g., user has logged off unexpectedly), and you have authorization, you can delete the lock entry in SM12.
  Be very careful when deleting locks to avoid data inconsistencies.
  
  
  
  Check the status of the delivery:
  
  Verify if the delivery is in a status that restricts changes.
  If the delivery is being processed in warehouse management or transportation, wait until the process completes.
  
  
  
  Restart the transaction:
  
  After the lock is released, try to process the delivery again.
