  Error Message
  WXP375: Data is presently locked by user &1
  
  Cause
  This error occurs when a user tries to access or modify a data record that is currently locked by another user. SAP uses locking mechanisms to prevent simultaneous changes to the same data, ensuring data consistency and integrity.
  
  The message indicates that the data object you are trying to access is locked.
  The placeholder &1 is replaced by the username of the user who currently holds the lock.
  Locks can be caused by:
  
  Another user actively editing the data.
  A transaction or process that has locked the data but has not yet released it (e.g., due to an incomplete or long-running transaction).
  A system or program error that caused the lock to remain.
  
  
  
  
  Solution
  To resolve this issue, you can try the following steps:
  
  
  Identify the user holding the lock:
  
  The message shows the username (&1) who currently holds the lock.
  Contact that user to check if they are still working on the data or if they can release the lock.
  
  
  
  Wait and retry:
  
  Sometimes locks are temporary and will be released once the user finishes their work or the transaction completes.
  Wait a few minutes and try again.
  
  
  
  Check lock entries:
  
  Use transaction SM12 (Lock Entries) to view and manage locks.
  Enter the relevant object or user to find the lock entry.
  If you have authorization and are sure the lock is obsolete (e.g., the user has left or the session is inactive), you can delete the lock entry here.
  
  
  
  Check for stuck or long-running processes:
  
  Sometimes background jobs or batch processes hold locks for a long time.
  Use transaction SM50 or SM66 to check active processes.
  If necessary, terminate the process holding the lock (with caution).
  
  
  
  System restart or user logoff:
  
  In rare cases, if locks persist due to system issues, a system restart or user session termination may be required.
