• Key Concepts: 
  Object locking is a feature of the Customer Business Planning (CBP) component of SAP CRM-MKT-MPL. It is used to prevent multiple users from making changes to the same object at the same time. This ensures that data integrity is maintained and that changes are not lost due to conflicting updates.
  
  How to use it: 
  Object locking is enabled by default in CBP. When a user attempts to make changes to an object, the system will check if it is already locked by another user. If so, the user will be notified and will not be able to make any changes until the lock is released. The lock will be released automatically after a certain amount of time or when the user who locked it logs out.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  It is important to remember that object locking can cause delays if multiple users are attempting to make changes to the same object at the same time. To avoid this, it is best practice to communicate with other users before making any changes. This will ensure that only one user makes changes at a time and that data integrity is maintained.
