  Key Concepts: 
  A lock table is a data structure used in SAP to ensure that only one user can access a particular object at a time. It is used to prevent multiple users from making changes to the same object simultaneously, which could lead to data inconsistency. The lock table is managed by the Enqueue/Dequeue component of SAP, which is part of the BC-CST-EQ module. 
  
  How to use it: 
  When a user wants to access an object, they must first request a lock on the object from the lock table. If the lock is granted, then the user can make changes to the object. When they are finished, they must release the lock so that other users can access it. If another user has already requested a lock on the object, then the request will be denied until the other user releases their lock. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  It is important to remember to release locks when you are finished with them, as this will allow other users to access the object. Additionally, it is important to be aware of how long locks are held for, as this can affect performance if locks are held for too long.
