Message type: E = Error
Message class: SO - SAPoffice: message texts
Message number: 198
Message text: <&> is being processed by &
The object you wish to process is currently locked either by yourself
or by another user.
The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.
To avoid inconsistent changes, the system only allows one user to make
changes to an object at a time.
You can currently only carry out the desired function in display mode
and make the changes at a later date.
If you are the user locking the object, check whether you are
processing it in another session.
If this is not the case, then the internal system lock was not reset,
for example, after a system crash.
In this case, the lock has to be reset manually.
To do this, select Tools -> Administration -> Monitor -> Lock entries.
If you do not have authorization for this, please contact your system
administrator.

SAP messages fall into 3 different categories: Error messages
(message type = E), Warnings (W) or Informational (I) messages.
An error message will prevent you from continuing your work - it is a hard stop and you need to fix the error before you can proceed. A warning message will stop your work, however, you can then bypass the warning by pressing the Enter key on your keyboard. That said, it is still good practice to investigate the cause of the warning message and address it. An information message will not stop your work and is truly just for informational purposes.
