• Key Concepts: 
  Lock owner is a concept in SAP that is used to ensure that only one user can access a particular object at a time. This is done by assigning a lock owner to the object, which is then used to control access to the object. The lock owner is responsible for ensuring that no other user can access the object while it is locked. 
  
  How to use it: 
  In order to use the lock owner concept in SAP, you must first assign a lock owner to the object. This can be done using the BC-CST-EQ Enqueue/Dequeue component. Once the lock owner has been assigned, any user who attempts to access the object will be blocked until the lock owner releases the lock. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When assigning a lock owner, it is important to make sure that the user who is assigned as the lock owner has sufficient privileges to access the object. This will ensure that only users with sufficient privileges can access the object while it is locked.
