  The SAP error message CTS_ORGANIZER_MSG120 indicates that a function cannot be performed because changes are locked for the specified system. This typically occurs in the context of the Change and Transport System (CTS) when you are trying to perform a transport operation, such as releasing or importing a transport request, but the system is in a locked state.
  Causes:
  
  Transport Lock: The system may be locked due to ongoing transport activities or maintenance tasks.
  User Lock: A user may have locked the transport request or the system for specific changes.
  Transport Layer Configuration: The transport layer may be incorrectly configured, leading to locks.
  System Status: The system may be in a state that does not allow changes, such as being in a maintenance mode or during a system upgrade.
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Transport Locks:
  
  Use transaction code SE01 (Transport Organizer) to check if there are any locks on the transport requests.
  Look for any active locks and determine if they can be released.
